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.

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.
