Read This If You’re Single And Alone This Valentine’s Day

Being single on Valentine’s Day isn’t a sign you’re falling behind. It’s proof you refuse to settle for less than you deserve.

Being alone on Valentine’s Day does not mean that you are unlovable. It means you’re not settling. It means you’re not forcing connection with someone who doesn’t see your worth. It means you’re choosing yourself – and that’s the most radical act of love there is.

You are not behind. You are not broken. You are not “too much” or “not enough.” You’re just not with the wrong person anymore, and that deserves celebration. Some people spend Valentine’s Day in relationships that make them feel lonelier than being alone ever could. At least your solitude is honest.

This day doesn’t define your worth. A relationship status doesn’t validate your existence. You are whole, right now, exactly as you are. And the right person? They’re out there becoming ready for you, just like you’re becoming ready for them. Until then, take yourself on a date. Buy yourself flowers. Celebrate the fact that you know yourself well enough not to accept less than you deserve. Being single isn’t a waiting room. It’s a full life. Live it like one.
