It's Actually Amazing To Be Alone On Valentine's Day
Huffington Post

Single on Valentines Day? Sure it really does suck being alone on any other holiday but this day was made for love and couples. Don’t let it get to you.There are several reasons why it’s amazing to be unattached on this lovely day.

You have an excuse to go hang out with your single friends

Go watch the new fifty shades darker in theaters with your other single friends, wait a few days after February 14th for those amazing deals on candy, or even spend the day watching cheesy Rom-Coms on Netflix.

You’re going to save money

This romantic holiday can get very expensive with the flowers, gifts, dinner date, and the occasional sexy lingerie, instead spend that money on yourself and pamper yourself guilt free.

You’re not the only one alone on this Valentine’s Day

Just because you’re not with anyone special doesn’t mean you should settle for less just so you’re not alone. There are so many single people on this day, so go out and meet up with someone, don’t sit at home and be miserable all alone.

Dinner dates aren’t all that and a bag of chips

There’s a lot you have to do for dinner dates, you have to make a reservation, get ready, buy a nice outfit, buy dinner, while instead you could be binge watching your favorite show on Netflix in sweatpants and inhaling all the chocolate in sight.

All of the sales at the end of the season, HALF OFF CHOCOLATE

All you had to read was half off chocolate and now this day will go a little better than you thought.

You can roll your eyes at couples

You'll always see those cute couples at dinner, or walking down the street but just remember that they're probably going to be $100 in debt and you're A LOT happier than they are.


Being single isn’t the worst thing in the world, it may seem pretty bad right now but just remember that everything happens for a reason and to always stay positive. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
