All the Single Ladies on the 14th

The evil Queen of Hearts from the 1951 Disney film "Alice in Wonderland."

This Thursday February 14th  is Valentines Day. If you couldn't tell from the advertisements and television shows, this is the most romantic day of the year and if you are single on this day you are a complete loser, especially if you are a woman.
As a single woman, you have a couple of options:
1. Be really annoyed that it's Valentines Day because that's so stupid ugh whatever
2. Get together with a bunch of lady friends and talk about how much men suck
3. Reminisce on failed past relationships
4. Watch a romantic movie by yourself, cry, and worry that you will never find someone to be with. Live tweet this experience, please.

No. Ewww no. Please do not do any of those things. And do not talk about how being single on Valentine's Day is so depressing because it's not. In the words of Sweet Brown, ain't nobody got time for that! If you are in a great relationship come February 14th, have fun and do something special. It's exciting to have someone special and I genuinely hope you have a happy heart day. If you are single on this Valentine's Day, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
I would recommend doing the opposite of those silly sarcastic things I listed above such as:
1. Have fun. Wear red. Smile. Make some valentines for coworkers, friends, or family
2. Go out and get drinks with your single girlfriends or guy friends- catch up and laugh
3. Don't dwell on past relationships. I'm a firm believer in everything happening for a reason. Your moment will come. Those relationships weren't right. You learned something from them and are a better person that is going to find the right person for you someday. Believe that and have hope.
4. It's okay to watch a romantic movie, but be excited that your romantic story could be just around the corner. Please tweet the channel the movie is on because I love a good romantic dramedy.
5. Listen to "Happy Valentines Day" by Outkast because it has a great beat. I do this every year.

In short, be hopeful and positive. Stay as far away from bitter as possible- nothing good comes from from being bitter and I guarantee you will not find a happy and successful relationship as a bitter person. Buy yourself some chocolate because it's an awesome excuse, and have a Happy Valentine's Day!

Love,
Logan
