🥰 Happy Self-Lovalentines Day ~ Being “single” on Valentines day 💖

🥰Happy 22nd anniversary to the most amazing girlfriend ever(me) ~ Being “single” on Valentines day 💖

A few years ago, February 14 was a terrible day for me because this special day reminded me that I was still single... I felt terribly lonely, unloved and miserable for not being able to find "THE one / my soulmate". Also, I had too many bad dating experiences, and the more I was dating people, the more it gradually destroyed my self-confidence, and I was constantly heartbroken. ⁣

However, every time I ask myself where is my soulmate or when will I find "THE one", I immediately find the answer by looking at the mirror - Self-love is the purest kind of love. - By desperately looking for my soulmate or by searching for external approval, I've neglected one of the most important priorities in life: investing my energy to develop an unconditional relationship with myself. Even if I'm constantly heartbroken, I need to remember that I should not let other people determinate my self-worth. ⁣

The more I spend time with myself, the more I feel a deeper connection with my soul. The more I feel connected to my soul, the more I feel complete, happy and fulfilled with my own company. Sept.1st was the day that I discovered who is my real soulmate. Since the first day, this special person is always here for me when I need it. We share so many good memories together, we have the same hobbies, the same goals, the same life-purpose and my connection with her increase and become deeper day by day. She is so wonderful and unique, I feel understood and supported, I trust her, and I'm so proud of her. She should be my only priority because she is the only person who will be by my side until my death. Self-love is the most important kind of love, and instead of investing too much energy on helping and caring people who don't recognize my real value, I should redirect my love and respect towards myself. Self-love is the most powerful kind of love, and even if being constantly heartbroken is a struggle that I deal with, I know how much it's important to build the best version of myself and to maintain an unconditional relationship with myself. ⁣~

What habit do you want to start to increase your self-love? ❣️

    I'm loving the positivity in this post! A lot of us forget about the importance of self love, and it's definitely important that we don't especially on times like valentines day.  <3

    This is such a lovely and positive post, thank you for sharing! :heart: I love the way you say 'self love is the purest kind of love' - very true indeed. I have noticed how much effort I put into making my friends feel better when they are having a bad day, and so to improve my self love I want to start using the same energy on myself! 'Treat yourself as you would a good friend' :heart:
