so, this year for Valentines Day, much like every other year, I won't be spending it with a significant other or a partner or a date. Just me and my myself and maybe my cats. But, what makes this year different from all the other years is that instead of focusing on the fact that I don't have someone to show me some affection, I'm gonna use that day to show myself some love. Just like you should everyday. I always used to be so intent on finding someone, any one. A person that could make me feel better about myself or that could make me happy but that's never worked out in my favor. I felt like I was running out of time, as funny as it sounds. I mean, there I was 18, 19, 20. The years kept passing and I was still alone. Was it me? Was I doing something wrong? Was I always gonna be alone? It's so easy to think that not having so many partners by a certain age or so many kisses or whatever isn't normal, and it took me awhile to actually grasp and understand that concept for myself. To understand that I'm my own person with my own experiences and I can't be compared to theses "averages" and by no means does it equate to there being something wrong with me. I'm pretty great, if I don't say so myself. So, this valentines Day I'm making cute little cards for friends and making sure to be extra sweet to myself because I deserves it and so do you. Wether that means buying yourself that one thing that you've been eying that you really want or taking a long bubble bath or just polishing off a whole carton of ice cream. Do it! Do you, and don't forget the cherry on top!
