hi friends.
how did your february go? can you believe it's already march? i can't. currently i'm sitting on my couch, watching a movie with my family and feeling just so overwhelmingly blessed. i have a great family, supportive friends, and the whole world to explore.
but.
life isn't always adventures and bubble baths when you're single. it's learning to love yourself and take care of yourself without needing a partner.
that's what february brought for me.
when i was going through my divorce i felt very unworthy of love. i was unsure of who i was.
i couldn't deny the feelings. they weighed on me, gnawed at me, and brought me to a really dark place. 2019 came around and i decided it was time to take myself on a date. it was time to love myself.
that's what my self love challenge did for me. i realized that i am worthy of love, i have interests, and i don't need validation from any outside source to make myself feel loved.
so guess what.
you don't need any outside source to feel loved either.
divorced, married, single, it's complicated, who cares. you are the only one who can make you happy. no one else can.
during self love february, i learned how to take care of myself. and not just in the normal "treat yo' self" way. i learned to go to bed at a normal hour, to eat healthy, to drink water, that kind of thing. i learned that self love isn't just bubble baths and chocolate.
i hope you, wherever you are, learn to love yourself. even if it just starts with "i accept myself."
