I bet that these fun facts and Valentine's Day superstitions will blow your mind. They definitely made me laugh and I had to re-read a couple of them because of how ridiculous they seemed to me. Enjoy them and remember to enjoy yourselves, friends, family, and loved ones this Valentine's Day!

If a woman sees a “winged creature” on February 14, it is supposedly predicting the type of husband she will one day marry.

  • Sparrow signifies someone poor
  • Bluebird signifies a happy man
  • Blackbird signifies a clergyman
  • Crossbill signifies an augmentative man
  • Owl signifies a spinster
  • Dove signifies a mate for life

Seeing a squirrel on Valentines Day supposedly means that you will marry a man who is a cheapskate. He will hoard all of your money away from you.


Verona, Italy is the location where Shakespeare’s famous lovers Romeo and Juliet lived. The city will receive about 1,000 letters from people that are addressed to Juliet.

In medieval times, young girls would resort to eating very unusual foods to try and dream of their future husbands.

From the Sumerians around 3500 B.C, we have the oldest surviving love poem, which is written on a clay tablet.

It is said that you will marry a man who is a crime fighter or a sailor, if you see a robin on Valentines Day.

Some romantic foods and their symbolism as according to Valentines Day:

  • Noodles symbolize a long life
  • Cabbages symbolize luck and fortune
  • Fish symbolize moving forward
  • Pomegranates symbolize fertility
  • Oranges symbolize happiness and abundance
  • Chocolates symbolize romance and power

My recommendation?

Search out the goldfinches, since they symbolize marrying a millionaire.

Did you know that cutting an apple open on Valentines Day will predict how many kids you will have? When you cut the apple in half, you then count the number of seeds. The number of seeds indicates how many kids you will have. So... two kids?

To be able to have the perfect, peaceful, and happy marriage you need to see a flock of doves on Valentines Day.

Color indicator and their true meanings:

  • Red means love and passion
  • Pink means grace and elegance
  • Orange means desire and enthusiasm
  • Yellow means a true friend
  • Lavender means enchantment
  • White means purity

May you all enjoy your Valentines Day and remember to keep an eye out for special birds.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
