by Lily Rouff

Valentine's Day is a day for couples who love... to show off their relationship status. Come Feb. 14, your social media feeds suddenly start to feel like a personal attack on your single status. How is it that even your friends who were single, like, 24 hours ago seem to suddenly have serious SOs plastered all over their Facebook? You could let it get to you, or you could fight through the couple-clutter with Singles Awareness Day Instagram captions that prove you DGAF about cupid's crossfire.

And why should you sulk about being single? Not only do you have potentially boundless freedom, romantically and otherwise, but you have real time to self-reflect and constantly evolve as a person. Celebrating your love for yourself should be a no-brainer, but sharing it with your social followers might seem a bit more intimidating. However, don't let that stop your self-love parade...

There's a fine line between coming across as spiteful and showing the world that you are thriving in your single status. The perfect, confident selfie (in killer lighting) paired with a well-thought-out, witty, and wise (but not wise-cracking) caption can help you express to the world that nothing is ruining your mood this Valentine's Day.
