If you are loved up today: HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Enjoy every moment feeling special and giving love. It makes the world go round + it’s fabulous we have a global day to mark LOVE!
If you are NOT (whether you are single, or in a currently less than loved up but partnered state) this can be one of THE most triggering + tricky days of the year.
It can be HARD to see an endless parade of flowers being delivered in the office and a social media love fest of proclamations and grand gestures. However much you wish everyone else love, it can be HARD.
🤕 It can make your heart hurt.
💙 If that’s you today, I am sorry.
🤗 Have a big HUG from me.
Please, KNOW you are special.
YOU. ARE. SPECIAL.
And that all this shows is that there is an abundance of love in the world, which is a good thing.
But … you don’t have to tune into it.
And IT DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING ABOUT YOU.
It’s just a day.
I recommend the following recipe:
📱 A generous helping of STAY THE HELL OFF social media
💅 A dollop of extravagant SELF CARE such a pedicure
🍸 A sprinkling of distracting boxset or a drinklette with friends
✨ A dusting of love to someone else who might need it today: a cheery hello to your lonely old neighbor, or an extra long walk with the dog, or playing cards with your kid.
🥄 Stir and serve with a smile
