Happy Galentine day to all my beautiful single ladies.
I’ve always been a firm believer in only using a particular day or a memorable holiday to say I love you to someone.
We have had a crazy three years with Covid, and we should not use a day late Valentine’s Day to say I love you to someone. Instead, we should say I love you as much as a heart’s desire to say I love you.
Love is a fantastic process, but it’s hard work, and part of the process of love is knowing the first person you must love is yourself because if you don’t love yourself or you don’t attempt to love yourself, how are you going to share your heart with anyone else.
Being on this new journey of learning how to love myself even on my worst days, I am learning that I should build the best relationship I can with myself, and the only way I can do that is by giving myself self-care and self-love.
One of the things I’m in the process of dating is myself and spending time with myself getting to know myself in ways I never thought about getting to know myself.
Not everyone is perfect; people should not strive to be perfect. After all, when we strive to be perfect, that’s when things tend to fall apart.
In reality, no one’s perfect if I have learned anything at the beginning of this journey is that I have to love myself with all my flaws and realize said I’m not going to be everyone’s cup of tea.
Still, I am damn sure my favorite cup of tea because I’m not trying to fit that mole of being perfect and being untouchable that’s just not me.
I’ve made my mistakes; I’m learning to hold myself accountable. But, unfortunately, I’m also allowing other people to hold me responsible for my shit.
The amazing thing about love that is apart is forgiveness, and before anyone can forgive me for my shit, I have to forgive myself for my shit.
If I can’t forgive myself, how can I expect anyone to forgive me for any wrongdoing I’ve done? But, I’ll continue to do it because, throughout this journey, I realize I’m going to have minor slip-ups here and there.
I’m not going to be completely cured of the bitch said I was born to be, but at least I know the roots of my wrongdoings. So I can acknowledge that is nothing wrong with asking or admitting that you might need outside help once you can recognize that you open up a whole new world for yourself, and I believe that’s what I’ve done.
Nobody wants to be alone, especially not on Valentine’s Day, but if I think about it, I’m not alone because I have always had myself and the love of those who genuinely love me.
I felt that having someone was enough or sometimes wasn’t enough for me. I just never treated myself with love and respect as I am trying to work on myself right now—happy Galentine’s day to all, my beautiful ladies and couples around the world.
