Be your own Valentine

I am learning how to love myself.

I wanted to write an elaborate blog post about this but I am very tired and I don’t have much energy today.

I mostly want to acknowledge this idea that has been floating around in my head. That I need to love myself. I am learning how to do this. It has been a long slow process, but I am learning.

This is not to say that I don’t have the best valentine in the world because I do. I am a very lucky girl.

I have spent my entire life giving a lot of love to  others but I haven’t done a very good job of loving myself. This is slowly, ever so slowly, changing.  This evolution is very subtly changing my life.

Maybe someday soon I will be able to love myself as much as I love others.
