V-Day da Real Way

It's February, and you (should) know what that means.  Another HOLLAday post w/ Mikelle!  It also means Valentine's Day, but I mean, what is more important?
Everyone is here for a purpose.  Mine is to teach people about Valentine's Day that most likely already know about it, considering 100% of my "audience" are from America.  Go figure.

Anyway, Valentine's Day.  One of the most dreaded but loved days of the year.  This HOLLAday is based entirely to be the day or month of love.  You seem like a smart person, whoever you are, so I'm guessing you can tell why this would be a problem for a majority of the American population (or wherever else they celebrate it, I don't know man).  Although I am in fact married to Harry Styles, I am technically "single," so I can relate to the struggles.  It is hard to watch other people be all couple-y when you are just a lone egg, finding your place in this world (or in the carton am I right ladies).

(look at us, just being goals original creds to Popsugar)

The even bigger struggle, to me at least, is hearing people complain about being single.  Yes, I know having a bangin' honey would be a prime time, but girl (or boy) you better work having no man or woman (your preference).  Considering I am still stuck in the land of three day relationships, many people I know always try to get a honey so they won't be single on Valentine's Day.  If you already have someone you like, and it so happens to work out that way, you go girl.  But, I don't exactly see the point of going out of your way to get a boyfriend/girlfriend just so you can celebrate a HOLLAday together.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but ain't nobody got time for that.

There are few, but significant benefits of Valentine's season.  If you are anyone like me, you know you'll be hitting up all of that red and pink candy that goes on sale.  There is something about the same exact candy in different colored wrappers that makes it so much better.  I don't make the rules, it just is.  Sorry, Michelle, but that is where it's at.  No, I do not promote unhealthy living, but sometimes you gotta treat yo self, am I right?

T-Haverford and Donna know what I'm talking about.

Not only does the abundance of glorious candy catch Mikelle's eye, but the various stuffed animals holding hearts, those are the source of my happiness.  You can hate on stuffed animals all you want, but you know all you want to do is feel them as you walk by.  I know you better than you think.  No, none of me "baes" have ever gotten me one of these, but a girl can dream.

The greatest part of Valentine's Day, to me, are all of the punny cards you see on Twitter.

Too soon? Too soon.
Hopefully y'all will have a good V-day, and remember kids, even single Pringles have a stack of other Pringles in the can with them.  Do with that what you want.
Make good choices.
