This is me, celebrating Valentine’s Day alone - and winning at it!

“Maybe, the hardest seasons of life teach you a different version of love and happiness. Let that love go off into the world and change others the way it changed you.”

I took myself out on a date last night after work to celebrate Valentine’s Day! 🌸

Six years into my healing journey, and it was only in 2022 when I finally had the courage to take the first step in learning to love and accept every part of me - the good and the bad, my strengths and my weaknesses.

The healing & self love journey was one hell of a ride - the road was bumpy, muddy, and exhausting, but each detour just brought me one step closer to living my best yet authentic self.

This is my first time intentionally celebrating this occasion and I was really curious how this me time experience would be different from my usual me time?

Although I am used to dining alone at restaurants, I knew that eating alone on special occasions would feel different. I saw people side glance at me, probably wondering why I was alone. And yet, that didn’t bother me. The happiness I felt was something I will always treasure.
