Happy Valentine’s Day!
This day was a struggle for me over the years. Like all holidays, it was hard for me to be alone and not have someone to share it with.
I knew love day was just “a day” like every other day … and yet somehow it wasn’t. It was heartbreaking to be alone. I was never ok until after it had passed.
But it’s not like that for me anymore.
Time doesn’t heal unless you allow yourself to be changed by what you’re going through.
And when you allow yourself to change… to see the good things and resolve the hard things, to see things differently, to accept new realities, and to redefine yourself and what matters – the things that used to trigger you melt away.
And now I’m happy to let others enjoy love day in their way and I carry on with mine.
And somewhere along the way I discovered that days like today don’t hold any kind of power over me anymore … but not only that, I am actually on the other side (kind of relieved that I don’t HAVE to do anything different today).
We can always love ourselves, and love the people in our lives, and I’m totally ok to do that every day of the year.
So whichever “team” you’re on today – if you are feeling like you need a little more love, then go ahead and give it away. It’s the best way to get it back ❤️
