Satisfied Staying Single Day
Let’s be real here. Valentine’s Day is a holiday that puts a lot of stress on people—particularly those who are not married or don’t have a significant other. That’s why we think it’s important for single people to not feel left out at this time of the year. And one holiday that prevents that from happening is Satisfied Staying Single Day.
This day is observed every year on the 11th of February and encourages everyone to take pride in being single. Sure, society tends to look down on single people sometimes, but that doesn’t mean singles don’t have a lot going for them. This is the day for them to embrace their “singleness” and to spend a day just enjoying life.
The History of Satisfied Staying Single Day
As is the case with so many “quirky” holidays found on the Internet nowadays, this one was created by the creators of a website called Wellcat.com. This website sells essential oils, herbs, and aromatherapy blends, but they also create odd holidays. What holidays have they created? Some of the holidays they’ve created include Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day, Stupid Guy Thing Day, and of course, this holiday, Satisfied Staying Single Day.

Observing Satisfied Staying Single Day
How does one celebrate a holiday dedicated to celebrating staying single? It can be done by taking the time to show yourself some appreciation. This is a day when no one needs to buy flowers or candy, where they can take all of that money that they would ordinarily spend on Valentine’s Day and spend it on themselves.
This is a day when people take that saved money and spend it going to the movies, going out to dinner alone, or just staying at home and ordering pizza. People are also encouraged to spread the word about this holiday to others using the hashtag #SatisfiedStayingSingleDay on social media.
