If you know me at all then you know I make it a point to say I’m single. At first I felt ashamed because quite frankly being single at 32 was not the plan. Funny thing about life, it doesn’t always go to plan. After my most recent break up, I realized how important it is that I show myself love. No more yearning for that dream person to come around and give me all the love I want. No maam, we are learning to love ourselves. Now don’t get me wrong at some point in my life, I do hope to find the one whom my soul loves but I’m not holding my breath. In this season of “romantic isolation”, I’ve rediscovered parts of who I am and what I enjoy with no outside influences.
- Take myself shopping
- Take myself to dinner: I spare no expense
- Workout: even if it’s a home workout
- Try new activities I’m afraid to do alone
- Solo trips
- Journaling
- Cleaning my space/ self care
- Devotionals: my spiritual growth is a major component to my personal well being.
- Get dressed: I will throw on a dress and some makeup because sometimes you need to remind yourself you are that one.
- Laugh. I never miss a moment to find the humor in life.
I have been through a few relationships. Each one left it’s own mark on me but now I see them as lessons. The most important one is that no matter who is or isn’t in my life, I need to love me.
I love that you love you! Keep doing what you do, bestie!
