Valentine's Day is upon us yet again. *cue groan*
For those of us who are not in the business of being smothered by a significant other on this annual event, this can be one of the most ridiculous days of the year. Hearts are everywhere. Red, purple, white, and pink. A lot of us don't even like pink as much as all of the big name brands think we do. One of the only bonuses to this particular date is all the discount chocolate everywhere. Except for those of y'all who don't like chocolate. I am deeply sorry for your loss.
February fourteenth is not a time for us to pull on our fuzzy socks, pop in some sappy rom-com and cry over our half-eaten boxes of chocolate. Quite the opposite. It is time for us to pull on our boots, strap on our belts, and become independent women who are proud of being single and valuable without a male counterpart. No matter what society tells us, we are unique, creative, and capable even though we don't have a man constantly telling us so.
Now, to inspire our chin-up, shoulders-back, I-can-take-on-the-world attitude, some donkey-kickin' fightin'-female songs will be listed below. (disclaimer: some of these songs aren't explicitly fightin'-female songs, but strong-human songs. you get the idea):
1. Salute by Little Mix
(the friend who recommended this song to me commented on it: "makes me want to punch through the wall". but, in a good way.)

4. Born for This by Mandisa
5. Concrete Girl by Switchfoot
