In an ideal world, we’d give our loved ones the attention they deserve every single day of the year. But life tends to get in the way. School, work, hobbies, and looking at cat pics (we promise you, we’re not judging!) can gobble up a lot of your time and energy.

When you’re exhausted, you default to your basic habits. For some people that might mean going for long walks in the Great Outdoors, exercising, painting, and meeting up with family and friends. For others, it might mean sitting on the couch in front of the TV or endlessly scrolling TikTok (or both, at the same time). However, you should do your best not to neglect your social connections. And it’s not just because it feels nice to have an active social life!

Loneliness is incredibly damaging to your health. The National Institute on Aging notes that prolonged isolation is about as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Socially isolated people are also more likely to be admitted to nursing homes and the emergency room. Isolated individuals often don’t sleep well and don’t exercise enough, so their health is far poorer.

As such, it’s essential that you maintain an active social life as you age. It’s not just about camaraderie and romance and making memorable moments, it’s also about literally improving the quality of your life.

There’s nothing new under the sun, so it might be difficult if you’re trying to think of a completely unique gift for someone. But instead of worrying about that, try to focus on tailoring the gift or card to your loved one. Think about the things that your partner or family members enjoy the most.

Think about what they value, what inside jokes you might have, and what you genuinely love about them the most. Everyone wants to be understood—prove that you’ve been listening.

At the end of the day, what matters the most isn’t how Instagrammable your Valentine’s Day gift looks. What matters is that you spread some love and make someone you care about smile.

The real victory isn’t about boasting about it on the internet (though there’s nothing wrong about doing it), it’s about expressing your love, respect, and admiration. The effort and care that you put in both speak for themselves!

What your partner really wants is to feel special. Don’t just get them some random card or gift that you picked up at the gas station. It’s very impersonal. A smaller gift that’s tailored to your soulmate is bound to be a greater hit than a dozen roses and a generic box of chocolate (unless they actually like the cheesiness), no matter how much they might cost. We impress others with our feelings and dedication, not the size of our wallets.

Think about what your partner might actually want to get or do on Valentine’s Day. Maybe they’ve mentioned something to you recently. Though every single day should be like Valentine’s Day, in practice, it’s hard to do. But never forget that you’ve got the rest of the year to be incredibly romantic. Don’t be shy—surprise your partner when they least expect it.

How much importance you place on gifts will really depend on you and your partner. Some people show their love in different ways. Others like giving and receiving tokens of affection. So if you know for a fact that your partner loves gifts, you’d do well to put in the time and effort to make or buy one for them, even if you might not be a big fan of gift-giving yourself.

Similarly, if your loved one isn’t all that into physical gifts, you might surprise them with a fun trip or an unusual experience. They might want a major distraction from their everyday problems. Your solution could be anything from a bubble bath to a surprise live concert at the place you two met all those years ago.

This is so cliche, but it's so true. When one door closes, another door opens. At the time the door closes, we are sad and grieve the opportunity. We wonder, "Why me." one day, we see why that door closed. It closed to make us ready and available for another opportunity. One day, you will thank him for not being in your life because you will find something that better suits you. In December 2011, my best friend/boyfriend passed away. I never thought I would be ready to date nevertheless, find someone as sweet as him. In my case, one day, I was ready, and the amazing man, walked into my life. Nothing against my deceased ex, he will always be with me, but my new guy Scott is a much better fit for me. Keep your chin up. Any man would be lucky to have such a great girl as yourself. It truly is his loss. You are beautiful inside through and deserve nothing but the best. If you need anything, let me know.

You are better off. I promise!
