Be My Gal-entine?
The Earth has once again completely orbited around the sun. We have officially landed on Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day, a holiday half of the world highly anticipates. In the name of love, couples all across the globe make small gestures like picnics and love letters, to grand gestures like trips out of the country and marriage proposals. As for the other part of the world, this is just a big fat reminder of how single you are. For some this day hits hard. Scrolling through social media, you can find memes about how single and lonely Valentine’s Day makes people feel. The memes are meant to be funny but it’s hard not to feel sad at the underlying truth in those memes. The truth is, some people really feel alone and unworthy on Valentine’s Day. Seeing people enjoy that they've found true love is beautiful but seeing so much of it all at once, leaves outsiders overthinking. Thoughts like “I wish I had that”, “why don’t I have that?” or “Is there something wrong with me?” start up in our heads. I know, cause I’ve been there. If you are single on Valentine’s Day, the answer is no. There is nothing wrong with you for being single on Valentine’s Day or any other day. Being single on Valentine’s Day can mean you’re just not at that point in life yet. Although it hurts, know that it is okay. After all you can be my Gal-entine or Pal-entine. To celebrate this Gal-entine's, I chose some of what I think are the most fitting songs by some of my favorite gals.
