Playlist For Those Who Didn't Win The Lottery (this time around)
We all know that Valentine's Day is for the romantic expression of love and affection. Did you know the physical expression of love goes all the way back to the festival of Lupercalia?

Surviving the V-Day Moods
Let's be honest. No one can really prepare you for heartbreak or the emotional roller coaster that comes with it, especially the ones that throw you for a loop in one day. Valentine's Day has always been a polarizing holiday for many. Either you're spending it with a loved one or loathing the love in the air because a) you're nursing a broken heart or b) because you've been single for a while and are starting to accept your life as a cat lady/man. The holiday is certainly cheesy but we end up getting caught up in it anyways. That's okay! We all handle it differently. Perhaps you're like me and just refuse to sit and wallow in self-pity. You want to feel good and focus on ANYTHING else, you deserve that much right?

The Playlist of Anti-Feels
So, I know that I can be a bit of a drag when it comes to Valentine's day, but maybe it's because... welp, I don't have a significant other, and I really just don't care for the Lover's Holiday. For me, it's my younger sister's Birthday, so that's what I celebrate. Growing up with this Holiday as her birthday at first was a little strange, but I then realize that maybe this isn't so bad. But then, when no one showed up at her Birthday party, that was where I started to hate the holiday. I know it's the "Day of Love", but no one had the time to at least stop by for her Birthday. And even when I moved away from my hometown, away from her to pursue my own dreams, I always felt like Valentine's Day was my sister's Birthday, and even now.

Screw Valentine's Day
Valentine’s Day. Or better yet, the day we all wish Hallmark would have just left alone. A day the card companies went ahead and trademarked and realized was one of the only ways to keep them from having to file for bankruptcy. How did such a holiday come to be? Let me tell you there are so many theories, but my favorite is this. Enter: the Roman empire. One of the empires, some guy that had his name end with an -us, and he was power-hungry and started the whole manifest destiny before it was cool. So anyway, he heard that single guys fought better than guys with wives and girlfriends so he goes “okay no more marriage and dating”! The young men obviously didn’t like this, or more rightly, the young women didn’t like this. Enter our hero, some guy named Valentinus, or something like that. He decided to marry lovers in secret, thus coming to have the idea of Valentines. Other theories start with people dying and the people wanting to sign letters with names. Whatever. I have little energy to decide what to believe except that it is a barely qualifying holiday that is best left alone, and not in the hands of Hallmark cards.

I Want To Be Left Alone
I will admit straight up, I am not single. However, I was single for so many years that the feeling has never gone completely away, even though I know that guy I see every morning, and I'm married to, isn’t going anywhere. A part of me is still single.

Songs That Are Definitely About Something, But It's Sure Not Love
Has anyone ever told you: “Don’t think about a purple elephant?” Of course, as soon as someone says that, you immediately start thinking about purple elephants. You can’t try to resist a thought without paying even more attention to it.

The Other Side of Love with The Beatles: An Anti-Valentine's Day Playlist. Top Story - February 2021.
The Beatles became famous with their simple, saccharine tunes about love. ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’, ‘She Loves You’, ‘Love Me Do’, and ‘From Me To You’ not only brought them fame, it also showed that few bands were better when it came to encapsulating the joyous feeling of love within the confines of a three-minute pop song.

Valentine Is Not That Into You
Another year. Another fast-flying February. Another Valentine´s Day. A holiday that unless falls on a weekend or an actual national holiday, does not count as a holiday on your tax roll.
