Never Remember the 14th of....February
The Romans had it with the annual festival Lupercalia. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupercalia) A multi day gathering to ward off evil; your ex, and rain in good health and fertilaity; a DM full of organic produce that gives you all the dopamine one could ask for in a single day.

Overcome Heartache in 21 Songs
Well, kids, another year, another Valentine's Day has come and gone. To millions of people around the world (we'll call them Group A), it was a wonderful 24-hour period filled with flowers, candy, thoughtful gestures, and all the other trimmings that often make human relationships so very worthwhile.

"Moving on"
I'm recently single, So I was already hitting the break up songs when I found this contest and my inner monologue was like "ummmmmm YAS Queen"!!! I like to think that I have several different sides to myself (as do most Queens) so here's a sample of what them sides be jamming to these days…

Easy as 1,2,3 (4,5!)
Easy as 1,2,3 (4,5!) Although designed as a day to celebrate relationships for those lucky enough to struck by Cupid’s arrow, the international day of love can just as easily make you feel ashamed or embarrassed to be alone. Overtime we’ve bought into the idea that Valentine's Day is a day about love for others and others love for us, rather than an overall celebration of just love.

Blue Valentine
In time with my vintage baby blue kitchen timer, I vigorously scrub the dye from the spaces and lines that make up my fingerprints. The plastic shower cap traps all of the moisture while my locks steep. The heat and humidity radiating is like a temperate rainforest, all of it trapped inside my terrarium crown. Unsure of what this “Extreme Teal” will transform my mixture of sand and saffron strands into, I daydream of tides and sea foam.

Valentine Your Way
Valentine’s Day was always so odd to me growing up. Maybe that was simply because I wasn’t overly romantic. Or maybe it was because I found the idea of giggling while your secret crush opens your anonymous letter a tad childish. Or maybe it was simply because I didn’t understand why people suddenly loved their partner more on this one particular day. Even when I got into a relationship, I was determined not to celebrate Valentine’s Day and be that mushy couple that everyone secretly, or perhaps not-so-secretly, detests. But every year my boyfriend (now husband)’s mother would push him to organise some cute surprise for me, and we’d have a nice but relatively low-key day together. It made me realise that, yes, it is just another day in the year and, no, celebrating it doesn’t mean you love your partner anymore, but the day can be whatever you make it!

How the Women of County Music Celebrate Anti-Valentine’s Day.
To say not everyone loves Valentine’s Day would be an understatement. For every person who believes in the power of Cupid and his arrow, there are two more who think Cupid is just a baby in a diaper brandishing a crossbow.

Love Stinks (Yeah, Yeah)
As a 90's kid, my earliest memories of feeling emotions through the power of music were of staring wistfully out of the window with my Discman headphones on from the comfort of mum and dad's car. Avril Lavigne sang directly into my soul about her latest breakup drama, and I could pretend I was the sad girl from the film clip - which was even easier to do if it was a miserable, rainy day.

27 Essential Songs for Your Anti-Valentine’s Day Playlist
Love. Love is the most potent drug to quit. Even when we are mistreated, we stay. Why is being in love so addicting? Dr. Stanton Peele Ph.D writes that love is more addictive than seven other drugs: cocaine, alcohol, valium, heroin, cigarettes, and even potato chips.
