Not having a romantic or sexual partner in your life does not mean that you are not worthy of love, it does not mean you are not capable of love, it does not mean you are not loveable, it does not mean love is not possible for you, and it definitely does not mean you don't have love in your life . What I do think it means for so many is that you need to work on the love you have for yourself; make it stronger and let it heal you to the point that you don't feel lacking of love. Fill you too the point that you are overflowing with love. So much love that you are spilling love all over those around you. So much love that when people are near you they feel love. Let that love be added to the love that those around you have for you. Friends, family, pets, coworkers, whomever you have around you let their love in. Let that love heal those wounds and make you the best version of yourself thus far. Remember above all love attracts love. Don't look for love #BeLove. I wish you the best and I am sending you love. #HappyValentinesDay #Love #SelfLove #WorldLove #SokuSays #Healling #ValentinesDay #InMyOwnWords (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt3JaSTDh1X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p959np7qtjko

I will still see beauty in the world. No matter what I will still see beauty; that is my gift. I have seen and been through many horrible things but I will never let that keep me from seeing the light and beauty that are present in this world. I will fight injustice where I can but I will not allow it to harden me to the point of not being able to love it receive love. I will not pretend my eyes don't see the horrible things going on around me but I will not let that blind me to the beauty in this world. No matter what I will still see the beauty in this world because that is my gift. 1/30/19 7:23am #TheWorldAroundMe #JusticeForJussie #JusticeForUs #HateIsHate #LoveIsLove #BlackIsBeautiful #BlackLivesMatter #LGBTQ #HateCrime #HumanRights #JimCrow #maga #LoveOutLoud #LoveNotHate https://www.instagram.com/p/BtQk8TTDn7X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7q9xgjqb92ga

This past year I've learned so much about myself, people, love, relationships, health, life, death, power, and the way things are. I've learned a level of strength that I never realized I had. I've learned a new level of vulnerability that has helped me truly grow as a person in a way I never thought I would. I am proud of myself and though it hasn't nor will it be easy I push through; I push forward. I'm learning to realize my journey is my own and I can not judge it by the timeline of others. I'm learning to accept and ask for help. Im learning to forgive. I'm learning to love me in a way I never did before. I'm learning to be freer and not be afraid to be me. I am learning that the things I've been through and experienced give me a very unique perspective that I must share with the world. I am learning me. #CaptureMe #SanFrancisco #SFMOMA #BlackandWhite #InMyOwnWords #SokuSays (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsHZeruDPsc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uiy5a17ur1n8

To stand at the base of one of these majestic ancient beings is eye opening and humbling. I honestly felt at home in a way along the trees. I couldn't post the panoramic photo so check out the next post to see how tall this beautiful life form actually is. #MuirWoods #RedwoodForest #NationalPark #DomesticTravel #SanFrancisco #California #Nature #Natural #Ancient (at Muir Woods National Monument) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brpn7lBj8cU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xscpbh4extr0
