Valentine’s Day is about loving yourself

I freaking love Valentine’s Day. Not because of the chocolate or flowers or candlelit dinners, but because it is about love. It’s a great day to simply ponder what love means to you.

I used to think that I had to chase love. That I had to earn it. And there were honestly very loud parts of me who didn’t believe I deserved love. Or that I could only be loved if I wasn’t myself. Bah! These were voices that came from others - or they were from younger parts of myself who wanted to protect me.

Ever since I started giving space to and loving on those protective parts I’ve been able to love and accept myself more. I’ve been able to connect more authentically with myself and others. I’ve been able to stop chasing, put down boundaries and express what’s important to me. It’s not perfect by any means - nor will it ever be. And it’s lovingly enough.🥰

Love is accepting all of your parts. It’s connecting with yourself and others. It’s allowing yourself self-compassion when it’s hard. It’s empowering yourself to be the best you can be right now. It’s evolving and moving toward what matters to you. It’s safety and trust.❤️

What’s love got to do with it? Everything ❤️
