Hello, friends! Happy Valentine’s Day to you all! Last year for Valentine’s Day, I made a post showcasing my Valentine’s Day decor, this year, sadly, I haven’t decorated for Valentine’s Day at all. To be completely honest, I still haven’t taken down my (fake) Christmas tree yet.
I love music and have a certain fondness for love songs, the good, the bad, and everything in-between. I thought I’d make a list including some of my favorite songs about love. Being in it, being out of it, and being sick of it. A song for every mood one could have on Valentine’s day. Enjoy! ❤
