Happy Valentine's Day...

Valentine Pals, Gals, & DILLIGAFs:

By: Alanda McRae

Remember Readers to check in with your loved ones this month. I, myself, spend Valentine's out with my girls watching whatever horror/suspense film is in theaters. We eat pizza or tacos (there's a coin toss involved, usually) and we do not drink alcohol. Why risk a drunk dial to an ex who is definitely an ex for a reason? 

Love is great when you're in a relationship - but not everyone has that and why should any of us be made to feel bad for that? There is nothing wrong with trying to find a partner (or partners) worthy of us. Just remember to be the best version of yourself you can manage and everything will fall into place. 

Also, for any Ace/Aro people reading this, do not let society try to gaslight you with this holiday into feeling anything less than valid. I personally believe the best parts of relationships have nothing to do with the bedroom activities - cuddles and dragons with a side of support and affirmations are really all that matter. Although, sometimes "I love you" can be overrated if not completely unwarranted. I sincerely hope everyone finds what they're searching for in life - though not necessarily on society's unsolicited timeline. 

* Happy New Year, Happy New Lunar Year, and also - Happy Valentine's Day!*
