Do NOT feel like crap if you are alone on Valentine’s Day Post 1

Many of us are going to be manipulated into feeling like crap because we are single on Valentine’s Day on the 14th. So, I am dedicating this post on why NOT to feel like crap, and actually feel fantastic. And, just for the record, I am a hopeless romantic. I LOVE, being in love! But, I also love myself and enjoy my own company and working on my own passions when I’m not in a relationship. Anyway – Here’s my first post leading up to this coming Valentine’s Day:
