How To Beat Valentine's Day
Love comes in many forms. Platonic, familial, romantic. We love our friends, families, and romantic partners in different ways, and it's wonderful.

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.

"Les Misérables" is the official playlist of Valentine's Day
I am twenty-nine years old and single. “Grim” is the energy I bring to everything I do, and Valentine’s Day is no exception. This year, I will celebrate Valentine's Day the way I always do. Grimly, and alone.

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.

Playlist To Learn After The Burn
Let us start off with Valentine’s Day. Here is a simple explanation. When I think of Valentine’s Day, I think of taking the time or most of the day expressing your love for the ones you genuinely care about. In many cases, people express their love to their significant others. However, Valentine’s Day does not necessarily have to be about romance between a couple. It can be showing love for family members, friends, and even co-workers. I remember when students would give cute cards out to everyone in their class when I was school. That goes to show you that there are different types and levels of love – from friendly love to passionate love.

Anti-Valentine's Day Playlist
I made an anti-Valentine's Day playlist last year, and I'm making another one this year. WHY? Because it fucking sucks! If you're single the entire first half of February is filled with "meals for two" advertisements, aisles in shops full of lovey-dovey cringy cards and engagement announcements and couples posting Instagram captions with "we've had our ups and downs but I still love you" and EWWW!

Damn You Ariel
Damn You Ariel I’m my own Prince Charming It all began with the Little Mermaid the Disney version. Girl wants more and a man can give it to her. He was deceived by the sea witch aka the one with a fewer imperfection than you. With the help of her friends they help him realize the bigger butt is a fake. Something like that, Right? The point is I was taught by that story that love has obstacles but good always prevails, or so I thought. It would be much later in my life that I came to know the original Hans Christian Andersen version of the story. Sis was treated like a dog, he marries the next bitch, she must choose to kill him or turn into sea foam. While both good stories, reality is a bit more between the lines or parts of both tales.
