In honor of this past “Love Weekend”, I would like to dive into the topic at hand!
L-O-V-E…what does that word mean to you?? Love isn’t something that you have to only share with a spouse/partner. I know it’s easy to get hung up on that specific type of love, especially during made up holidays “Valentine’s and Sweetest Day” or you might feel a way when seeing people post the person they love on social media. It’s not that the “feel a way” is purposely jealous vibes, but it’s the feeling of not having it for yourself. If you don’t want to admit you’ve experienced this; I’ll be honest for all of us. I was once in that state; gratefully I am no longer there.
When you’re having moments like that I want you to think about how you can spread love, instead of what you’re not receiving. You can also work on giving yourself everything you want from a spouse/partner. Before I was in a relationship I would make nice goodie bags for my godson and little cousins. As well as treat myself to something nice and a day/night out.
As I mentioned before, when you spend time loving yourself you will fall in love with who you are. You also can work on the things that may need changing within. Going through my “self-love without a spouse” phase helped me learn a lot about myself, as well as better some things that needed changing and heal from things I didn’t discuss. It is also a period in my life that I am extremely grateful for; it also prepared me for the relationship I’m currently in. Focus on the present, while preparing yourself for what’s to come in the future.
REMEMBER: YOU’RE LOVED!! I’M FOREVER ROOTING FOR YOU!
