Don't let the fear of being single forever make you hate this holiday.

The Young And The Single This Valentine's Day

As Valentine's Day quickly approaches, couples everywhere will express their love for each other with balloons, candy and stuffed animals with red hearts all over them. While couples use this time to appreciate their significant other, those who are single complain about how they will never find "their person" or how dumb a holiday like valentines days is and that it is only a "Hallmark Holiday."

I'm here to tell all you single people to stop moping around and instead celebrate! Coming from a single person herself, there is nothing wrong with being single. Instead of all us moping around on this holiday, we should be celebrating!

Be happy about who you are. Yes, maybe that special person hasn't come into your life yet, but celebrate that in the future they will be in your life. Not everyone is lucky enough to find "the one" when they are young, and sometimes it takes time and many heartbreaks to find the right person. I can promise you that when that time comes, all the wait and heartbreak will be more than worth it.

Use it also as a time to celebrate the happy couples in your life. Valentine's Day doesn't just have to be about you and someone you like, it can also celebrate those in your life who do have that special someone. Go out and do something special for them and show how much their relationship means to you.

Go out and treat yourself this holiday with all the chocolate and romantic comedies you could ever imagine. Just because you are single doesn't mean you can't celebrate this great holiday.

Valentine's Day is about love: love for your family, friends and everyone in-between. So celebrate all that love in your life. Don't let the fear of being single forever make you hate this holiday.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
