Happy Valentines Day, I like many of you agree that this is a greeting card holiday, I use everyday to show love to my otter (how I refer to my significant other) BUT I work in the world of the 4 year old where every holiday needs support and I’ll take any excuse to love on those babes.
This year, I have 2 valentines. 2 people in focusing on giving A LOT of love to. The first being my wonderful fiancé who I still don’t understand how I deserve, many of you know the story of my past relationship….it’s not a good one, for the readers who don’t….a quick run through, I spent my time crying alone in my room, being verbally brought down MOST of the time, going places alone, and being made to feel so much less than I deserve.
Now, I get to be with a GORGEOUS man that has the most generous and giving heart, who never misses a moment to tell me how beautiful I am or how loved I am. I have a partner, a best friend, someone I can rely on. Justin, thank you for making me believe in love and a relationship that can make it all so worth it. Last year, he was deployed for Valentine’s Day, this year we are making the most of enjoying it together.
My other valentine….it’s me. I’ve worked very hard on self love and acceptance this year, and I’m in the thick of it and it feels great. So today, I thank myself, I appreciate myself and I encourage you to do the same. Love on yourself, value yourself, buy yourself something nice, make a gratitude list focused on the amazing things about you. And let’s see it!
The Kanye way of life…if we all loved ourselves like Kanye loves Kanye, well we would be so filled with confidence and acceptance we would be bursting at the seams.
Happy Valentines Day. I hope you feel the love you deserve today, from a partner, or from honoring your self worth ❤️
