Why It Is Totally OK To Be Single On Valentines Day

Bring out the pink fuzzy handcuffs. It is that time of year again. The day that couples book romantic getaways and fulfill their kinky fantasies. You got it: Valentine's Day. Usually, us single people shudder when seeing the cheesy teddy bears and boxes of chocolates staring at us through store windows. Going out in public on V-day? Forget about it. Who wants to see all those happy couples anyway.

But somehow through all of the pain, we manage to make it through this lonely holiday. How do we do it? Who f***ing knows?

Oh wait ....

Now, I know what you are thinking. We spend this holiday wallowing in our tears of desperation and mask the loneliness with pounds of chocolate. We constantly check our phones and secretly hate on our friends and their stupid Instagram pictures featuring heart eye emoji captions and their significant other. While this is most likely what I will be doing, many of us should decide to turn this holiday into a day of celebration. A day to celebrate all the single people out there in this world. Let us unite on this horrid Hallmark holiday.

Let us take a moment and think, why are we stressing out about not having a person to spend this "special day" with? Because, honestly, I'm just in it for the free food, but there are people who genuinely become depressed on V-day.

So here is a little advice if you're that person: one day there will be a person who you're meant to spend Valentine's Day with, heck maybe your whole life with. One day you will have someone to post stupid or cute Instagram pictures with and your single friends, well they will be secretly hating on you too. It will make up for all the other V-day's you spent alone wallowing in self-pity and it will totally kick every other V-day's a**. Be patient for your day. It'll come.

But don't forget that the best part of V-day is when it's finally over. When the shelves of candy are marked down by 60 percent or more and we can buy endless boxes of chocolate to indulge in. We can sit in our beds and pat ourselves on the back because we did it. We survived another lonely V-day. And of course, the best part of being single on Valentine's Day?

You don't have to share that large cheese pizza you bought for yourself.

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.
