A Single Girl's Valentine's Day

It's a hard day.

A Single Girl's Valentine's Day

One day of the year, the single people in this world are the minorities. We don't get the romantic dates, the roses, or the chocolate. And if we do, it's from our parents.

I have to say, single is my middle name. No boyfriend, no problem. And whenever that catchy Beyonce song comes on during a night out, you know I'm the first one to start dancing.

I'm all "strong, independent girl who doesn't need a guy to complete her" until this sad, sad day of the year. For those who don't know, or for those who can fully relate, here is what a single girl's Valentine's Day is like.

Leading up to Valentine's Day, you try your hardest to promote your very obvious relationship status.

But, you realize no one is actually interested.

And you're just a little bitter.

So, you have to accept that you're alone for yet another Valentine's Day.

"It's okay," you tell yourself. "Next year will be my year!"

The dreaded day finally arrives.

But you (and your other single friends) claim that you'll actually embrace your singledom this year.

Single girls RULE! Yeah!

But that really means doing this.

Isn't dark chocolate supposed to be good for you?

And this.

I heard wine is too?

After you pull it together, you decide to go out in public. Big mistake.

They're literally everywhere. Really not a fan of PDA.

You run into your friend and her boyfriend, and she asks how you're doing on this lovely Valentine's Day.

She just doesn't get it.

After a long day of self-pity, you come to a realization.

Honey Boo Boo knows what's up. Life is hard enough, why throw one of those creatures from the male species into the mix?

Single girls actually rock, and if you are one, be proud.

Girl power always.

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.
