𝘏𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺 𝘝𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘦’𝘴 𝘋𝘢𝘺, 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘧! 💘
Long gone are the days when Valentine’s Day was only about loving someone else. It is about time we celebrate the most important love of all—our love for ourselves. We often pour our hearts into others, forgetting that the love we need most is the one we give ourselves.
This year, Valentine's Day isn't about showing love to others. It's about the love you give yourself, the kind that is always there, even when you don't realize it.
Self-love isn't about grand gestures but the small, everyday acts of kindness you show yourself. So, on Valentine's Day, take a moment to celebrate 𝘺𝘰𝘶. You are deserving of your own love, no matter how difficult things become or how lonely you may feel. The love you need is already within you; even if it feels like the world has turned its back, know that you still have yourself. You’ve survived every moment that made you question yourself; that alone is love in its purest form. Self-love is simply showing up for yourself, especially when it feels like no one else can.
So here’s to you, your love, and your ongoing journey of self-love. Remember, you are enough. 𝘈𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯. 𝘈𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦.
