There’s a chicken soup for all occasions: for the brokenheart, for birthdays, for colds, etc. This post would be about chicken soup for the people who would be staying home alone on Valentine’s Day.

Like watching the demolition of the house that you grew up in, heartbreak is only temporary. Yeah, right, says the brokenheart victims. It’s true, anyway. Your childhood home gets demolished, you stay in a new home, one that ‘your’ children would grow up in and call ‘their’ childhood home.

Alone? Single? Guess what? There’s a person out there for everybody. No, not one, but two, three, more than you’ll ever expect. They’re just hard to find, like a rare flower growing under a rock in the middle of the Himalayas. Sometimes you’ll stumble on the right rock, and there you have it. Sometimes you’ll pass right on top of it and never see it. Yes, there’s a person out there for everybody, but finding that person is another thing altogether.

Found the one you have been looking for? Good for you. Cherish them with everything you’ve got. Because you’re one of the few thousand lucky ones all over the world who really found your star shining down on you. Never lose sight of that star, it’ll be there even when clouds hide the sky, even when you hide in the deepest, darkest cave, it’ll still be there waiting, shining for you.

Finally, here’s my personal list of “Songs for the Lonely Hearts”:
Brian Tyler - Inama Nushif
Britney Spears - Everytime
Carpenters - Desperado
Celine Dion - It’s all coming back to me now
Cliff Richard - Ocean Deep
Diana Ross - When you tell me that you love me
Jim Lowman and Elaine Reichenbacher - Let It Be Me
Kenny G - Sentimental
Michael Smith - I Will be here for you
Richard Clayderman - Unchained Melody
Richard Marx - Angel’s Lullaby
Richard Marx - Hold on to the Nights
Richard Marx - Until I find you again
They’re not all about lost love, of course, but about hope after the twilight, about finding the sun after the eternal night.

Happy Valentine’s Day
