Alright, I know what you’re thinking: Why is a single woman with absolutely no dating prospects excited about February 13? Two words: Galentine’s Day.
While all you cuffed up people are out Lady and Tramping a plate of spaghetti with the love of your life on Valentine’s Day, I’m going to be spending the day before with the loves of my life: my best friends.
For those of you who have never observed the holiday, Galentine’s Day is a day dedicated to appreciating the best gal pals in your life. Because while romantic love may come and go in your life, your best friends usually stay in the “forever” setting. And even if you do have that special someone in your life, you can always take the time to let your besties know that they mean the world to you.
So if you need help expressing that love, here are 30 quotes you can share with your galentines (or use to caption the photos you post of them). Especially if you need to remind them that they are the “most beautiful, glowing, sun-goddesses ever,” per Leslie Knope.
