It is that time of year again. Time for overpriced heart-shaped candy and pressure to have a significant other. However, not everyone is able to celebrate with a significant other or you may be living the single life. Whatever the case may be, don't let Valentine's Day be a negative experience. Take the opportunity to treat yourself and have a nice day. After all, the most important relationship is the one with yourself and you deserve it.

Buy yourself a bougie Starbucks drink.

Switch out for coconut milk, add a caramel drizzle, add another shot of espresso and make it a venti, you earned it.

Do what you never have time to do, but love doing.

Whether it be painting, reading a book or even baking, do something that makes you smile but you don't always have the chance to do.

Binge watch your favorite comedy show.

Whether it be a classic like "Friends" or your favorite comedian, a good laugh may be exactly what you need. And yes Netflix, I'm still watching, stop asking.

Send yourself flowers.

Whether it be roses, daisy's or even sunflowers, this way, you can be sure you get your favorite kind.

Have a spa day.

Layer on a face mask and put some essential oils in a diffuser. You will feel so refreshed and rejuvenated afterward.

Make yourself a nice dinner.

Who says you need someone else to wine and dine you? Fire up the stove (or call in delivery), pour a glass of wine and enjoy a good meal.

Get some discount chocolate on February 15th.

The only thing better than chocolate is discount chocolate.

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.
