This holiday can prove difficult for many, whether single or attached. If you’re single, you are probably dreading the heart-filled day. You refer to Valentine’s Day as a “Hallmark holiday,” a made-up celebration of over-commercialized love. You vent to your friends about all the Instagram posts headed to your news feed of couples looking cheesy with bouquets of roses.

However, if you’re in a loving relationship and want to celebrate that, then you can’t wait to receive flowers and are already thinking of the perfect filter to use when you Instagram your candlelit dinner.
