How To Have The Best Valentine's Day (Even If You're Single)

How To Have The Best Valentine's Day (Even If You're Single)
someecards.com

As soon as the clock struck 12 a.m. on New Year's Day, the Christmas decorations were put up and pink and red hearts filled the shelves of stores. Yeah, it's that time of year again.

So, apparently, some silly little priest left a note for some random chick before he was executed by an emperor, so now we have to give chocolates and receive flowers once a year in February now. Even worse, if you're single, then you get to watch other people be showered with gifts and sulk as you sit alone in the corner stuffing your face. That's some holiday, am I right?

Don't let being single stop you from having a fun V-Day.

Valentine's Day is about all kinds of love. This day can be about all of the relationships in your life. Don't forget to let all the people in your life know that you love them and appreciate them in some way, like a card or a text.

Or go out and have a Galentine's Day and be cool like Leslie Knope.

Go out to dinner somewhere like Olive Garden with your squad. You also don't have to worry about dressing up for anyone except yourself, which is, by the way, how it should always be!

Or you could do what I am doing and watch "How To be Single."

Rebel Wilson is definitely someone who I'd want to spend this day with. Or any day, for that matter.

(I really enjoy a good Rebel Wilson GIF. She is the best person of all time. I just had to add this one, as it just goes perfectly with the theme of this post.)

To all my fellow single ladies: you can want a man, but please don't need a man. Be happy that you are not wasting your time with a loser and know that your special someone is out there and that you will find them in time. Until then, go have the time of your life.

Also, release your inner spirit animal (like "Single Ladies" era Beyoncé).

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
