Put Yourself In The Habit Of Loving Yourself
Give Yourself To You
Valentine’s Day tomorrow.
While we’re all focusing on finding someone to give our love to, we’re leaving out the person who will always be there for you. Yourself.
Throughout my life, I’ve had endless love in my life and love that found its end. Whether through losing love, a person or even a moment where I thought I’d have it, I’d lost it. But I had it. I always had it. The one thing I never had was love for myself. Finding someone to love in your life is beautiful, I’ll admit. But I realised you can’t open yourself fully for anyone or anything if you can’t hold any back for yourself.
This Valentine’s Day I’m alone. I do have a boyfriend. But he’ll be working. So, my Valentine’s Day will be for me. I’ll do the things I love for myself. I’ve never had a date planned by me for me. I think it would be nice to see how much love I have for myself.
There will always be moments in your life where you feel you don’t deserve to love yourself, where you hold back on caring about yourself because you’re too focused on giving it to everyone else in your life. A deep breath. A moment to think. And before you blink, you’ll learn. Learn that having faith in yourself and loving yourself is just as important as loving other people.
