Valentines day vs. Acknowledging all relationships

Because Valentines day is next Friday and I have put some thought on this subject, I feel this is rather appropriate to share.

Last year I made a post about how people who are in non relationships need to stop whining about how lonely and blaming the ones that are in relationships.  Also people that are in relationships need to cool it on how your relationship is better than others, especially after being in a relationship for 3 days.

This post is sparked after sharing ideas with my coworkers for next week activities.  At my center, we cannot do holidays, but on valentines day we talk about all forms of relationships with everyone in their lives.  This made me think that we shouldn't just focus on our boyfriend\girlfriend, but as well as our parents, grandparents, siblings, other family members, friends, and coworkers. 

I guess what I am trying to say is that we do have other relationships with other people that help us move forward.  We should be appreciative of all people in our lives.  Having a significant other is nice, but not the end all be all.  Disney is making that move by having their movies like Frozen and Brave.

Word of advice:
In a relationships or not, we need to look at the other people in our life that help shape us to who we are today.
