My (Late) Valentine Playlist: SINGLE Edition
I get that Valentine’s Day (yesterday) isn’t for everyone, but with all these romantic songs and atmosphere surrounding us (single people), bet you wanna get your own Valentine Playlist to remind you of your worth.
And today is our day, Happy Single Awareness Day!
Not having a significant other to celebrate Heart’s Day yesterday, is absolutely fine because you got yourself. Everybody say it with me now, ‘I’m not lonely because I got me’.
I’m sharing handpicked songs from my personal playlist to remind you that you are loved and wanted, and being single has nothing to do with that.
Why are you single?
Whether you’re single by choice, you waiting for someone or you just got out of a relationship, what you felt is valid. Don’t be in a relationship just for the sake of having one. Know your worth and love yourself. We are (single) Queens and Kings!
Unrequited Love
Probably one of the most hurtful parts of loving someone is when it’s one-sided. From secretly loving a friend to a rejected confession. Even when you already know the outcome, doesn’t make it hurt less. This one’s for you.
1. Just a Friend to You by Meghan Trainor
So it breaks my heart
When you say I’m just a friend to you
Cause friends don’t do the things we do
2. Love Like That by Lauv
But I don’t know how to give the kind of love that you deserve
Knowing that I can’t just make it worse
Wish that I could love, love, love you back
Wish that I could love like that
3. I Wanna Love You But I Don’t by Ben Platt
I know there’s somebody out there
To love you just as you are
When you finally find that someone who fits you right
You’rе gonna see I couldn’t be him no matter how hard I try
4. Not Just Friends by Connell Cruise
You say that you still want me in your life
But is being friends your way to say goodbye?
Moving On/Letting Go
Some say that moving on and letting go is hard when it is obviously staying when you already know it is over. If you’re one of the brave ones who chose themselves, salute!
1. Let Me Go by Hailee Steinfeld, Alesso
I’ve been hoping somebody loves you in ways I couldn’t
Somebody’s taking care of all of the mess I made
Someone you don’t have to change I’ve been hoping
Someone will love you, let me go
2. It’s Okay If You Forget Me by Astrid
Wouldn’t get jealous if you’re happy
It’s okay if you forget me
I don’t feel empty now that you’re gone
Does that mean it didn’t mean nothing at all?
3. Better By Myself by Hey Violet
I’m better by myself
I’m better when there’s no you in my life
4. Don’t Wanna Be Your Girl by Wet
You can’t do me right
So I
Decide that
I don’t wanna be your girl no more
Loving Myself/Working on ME
It is one thing to choose yourself, and it’s a whole different story when you’re actually happy and proud about it.
1. Good Thing by Kehlani, Zedd
I like my own company
Company, I don’t need it
I’m not always cold
I’m just good on my own, so good on my own
2. Love Myself by Hailee Steinfeld
I take it nice and slow, feeling good on my own
Without you, yeah
Got me speaking in tongues, the beautiful it comes
Without you, yeah
3. Lettin’ Go! by Janelle Monáe
I feel so alive, stress just faded away!
Its time to live my own life!
4. Queen by Jessie J
It can’t be healed with something materialistic
Can’t be healed by a man who stays distant
It’s deeper, save yourself
Before you betray yourself
Like any of the songs above? Maybe you can share your own single playlist in the comments with us.
Again, happy Single Awareness Day, beautiful single people.
"Leanne or LJ -- as what her friends would like to call her-- is a walking enigma. She loves reading books more than going out, but would if her family drags her out. The limelight was never her spot, and if you look hard enough, you'll find her in a corner enjoying her peace in the shadows of other people's light.
