@Da_rhoda said, “Valentine is still sleeping, some people are uploading their relationship pictures… like why? What exactly is the color of your insensitivity?”

@Okom_UGabriel tweeted, “This Valentine is just legit constantly reminding me on how single I’ve been all this while.”

@Iam_damilosky wrote, “Valentine’s day tomorrow, everyone’s probably gonna be waking up to cute texts and gifts while I’m definitely waking up to my phone 100 per cent charged.”
