The Lonely Hearts (and Proud to be!) Songs
Whether you have recently been through a break-up or are someone who has always disagreed with the commercialization of Valentine’s Day, then I have the playlist for you. Blast it while you’re doing your weekly self-care routine or while you’re driving in your car knowing that the only person’s agenda you need to subscribe to is your own. Here are some songs to get you started:

How the Women of County Music Celebrate Anti-Valentine’s Day.
To say not everyone loves Valentine’s Day would be an understatement. For every person who believes in the power of Cupid and his arrow, there are two more who think Cupid is just a baby in a diaper brandishing a crossbow.

Love Stinks (Yeah, Yeah)
As a 90's kid, my earliest memories of feeling emotions through the power of music were of staring wistfully out of the window with my Discman headphones on from the comfort of mum and dad's car. Avril Lavigne sang directly into my soul about her latest breakup drama, and I could pretend I was the sad girl from the film clip - which was even easier to do if it was a miserable, rainy day.

27 Essential Songs for Your Anti-Valentine’s Day Playlist
Love. Love is the most potent drug to quit. Even when we are mistreated, we stay. Why is being in love so addicting? Dr. Stanton Peele Ph.D writes that love is more addictive than seven other drugs: cocaine, alcohol, valium, heroin, cigarettes, and even potato chips.

Burning of a Nose: An Anti-Valentines Day Playlist.
Lets wind the clock back to February 2013, the first time I was alone on Valentine's Day in 4 years. My relationship with my girlfriend ended the previous October. It feels weird to say, but I was actually kind of thank full for the time alone: no gifts to buy, no dinner to plan, and certainly no fucking Nicholas Sparks' film adaptations to watch.

Bye Bye Valentine
It's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind romances that Valentine's Day (And the Hallmark Channel) want you to be ensnared in. It's also just as easy to be beyond that and frankly just despise the holiday. This is especially true if you're single. It's incredibly easy to watch all the happy couples going about doing their couple-y things and get jealous and angry. I have a bit of advice, though. Don't do that.

"You Can't Stop Me Lovin' Myself!": How these 7 BTS Songs taught me to Embrace Self-Love
I don't hate Valentine's Day. Expressing the adoration you feel for your partner by bringing them flowers or taking them out to dinner on a specific day is an undertaking that can always be done the other 364 days in the year but setting aside February 14th to do so is certainly a lovely gesture.
