My Lonely, Not Funny Valentine
Anti-Valentine's day, otherwise known as 'frantically searching dating apps for a last minute date day' or 'I don’t even have enough friends for a Galentines day celebration day' is here again to bombard us with advertisements for cards and flowers. It is a particularly annoying holiday because it reminds me of my anxiety and depression that has left me struggling to connect romantically or even platonically with friends. However, music is the escape that distracts me from constantly thinking about being alone. Why? Because you get to live vicariously through an artists' mood whether it be pain, excitement, or freedom. After all music uplifts you.
