Spending Valentine’s Day without all the red flower pedals, cute couple posts, and cheesy gifts? SAME, girl. This is my fifth Valentine’s Day being single — after having six or seven mediocre ones with people who honestly didn’t deserve me. And although I wouldn’t mind having boo right now, I’m pretty content and happy being single!
However, I know that being single, whether it’s been days or years, comes with a wave of ever flowing emotions. Sometimes you feel sad and lonely, sometimes you’re nostalgic for your ex’s (no matter how much they sucked), and sometimes you feel like a bad b*tch ready to take on the world. (Hopefully you feel like the last one most of the time.)
And no matter what stage you’re in, Valentine’s Day can be rough for us single ladies. That’s why I decided to put together a Spotify playlist for single ladies with, in my opinion, the best songs about breaking up, going through all the emotions, and eventually moving on. I’ve been jamming to this playlist since yesterday, so I hope you enjoy all 4+ hours of it!
Things to do on Valentine’s Day When You’re Single
And if this playlist isn’t enough to get you single girl swaggin’, then here’s a list of things I highly suggest you try to do tonight or ANYTIME! <3
- Watch some feel-good rom coms to give you a more positive outlook on love.
- Treat yourself to your favorite dessert.
- Order takeout so you don’t have to cook and get it delivered.
- Take a bubble bath and don’t forget the wine!
- Walk around in your favorite lingerie — for YOURSELF. Here’s an article I was quoted in about my fave lingerie.
- Finally BLOCK that dude that brings no joy to your life.
You got this, boo!
Any songs I should add to the playlist? Let me know!
