If you're not in a relationship, Valentine's Day is usually a huge bummer. Everyone else is running around in love, shopping for their significant other, while you're just waiting for holiday candy to be discounted.
Well, no more. It's time to stop letting your relationship status determine your self-worth. This Valentine's Day, treat your self with some positivity and presents from you, for you.
1. Bath bombs
Nothing is more relaxing than a hot bath, so focus on some self-care this Valentine's Day, throw on a face mask, drop one of these bad boys in the tub, and relax.
2. An obnoxiously large stuffed bear
A stuffed bear that's almost the size of you isn't just cute, it's also a damn good body pillow. Buy one of these and you'll honestly never need a man again.
3. Fancy chocolates
You are gold, baby. Solid gold. You deserve more than discounted leftover candy at Walgreens. Eat some of these delicious gourmet truffles and get that bath ready, we're in for one hell of a night in.
4. Candles
Honestly, nothing is better than a good smelling apartment. The right candle can turn your whole mood around, so take some deep breaths and let the smell of jasmine or vanilla wash over you.
6. A Himalayan salt lamp
Not only are they just downright cute, Himalayan salt lamps help enhance breathing and purify the air. Having one of these lamps in your bedroom gives the room a gorgeous glow and will benefit your health. We're taking care of ourselves in 2019.
6. A bouquet of roses
What's better than having roses delivered to you? Probably nothing. Red roses are so gorgeous and smell incredible. You don't need a boyfriend in order to be deserving of flowers, so it's time to splurge on yourself. You're worth it.
7. A necklace with your initial
"T as in Troy?" No, more like your own initial because you love yourself. A cute little dainty necklace is the perfect gift, especially for yourself.
When you're single, Valentine's Day can seem like a miserable holiday where everyone is in love but you, but that's dumb. You're still badass even if you don't have a boyfriend. Your worth as a person doesn't increase when you're in a relationship, and it sure as hell doesn't decrease when you aren't.
Feeling this way is something we've been taught. We're taught to be envious of others' romances when it comes to Valentine's Day. You shouldn't be. Use this time to grow more in love with yourself, more confident in who you are. You don't need someone else in your life to prove to yourself or others that you matter.
The only love that never fails you is the love you have for yourself. You'll find someone when the right person comes along, so don't stress it. You are still a wholesome person with or without a significant other, so don't let Valentine's Day try to change your mind.
