Valentine’s Coming, "Where’s your boyfriend/girlfriend?"

Hey, So, Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and I know the internet is already flooded with “Look at the bouquet bae got me” videos, love declarations, and “Couple goals” posts. If you’ve been scrolling through social media and feeling like you’re missing something because you don’t have a romantic partner to share it with, I need you to hear this loud and clear: You are worthy with or without a partner.

It’s easy to get caught up in the hype, the flowers, the chocolates, the romantic gestures. It’s natural to want to feel loved and cherished. But don’t let the pressure of the world convince you that your worth is tied to being in a relationship. You don’t need a partner to define your value.

Self-love is where it starts. Valentine’s should be a reminder that love is about more than just romantic relationships. It’s about appreciating who you are, nurturing your own growth, and being kind to yourself. That’s the love you can give to yourself every day. Instead of feeling like you’re “missing out,” how about using Valentine’s to celebrate yourself? Treat yourself to something you love—whether it’s a solo dinner, a new book, or a self-care day. You’re whole, just as you are.

So when the “#relationshipgoals” posts pop up, don’t feel pressured. You’ve got your own goals, your own growth, and your own beautiful journey. And trust me, you’re more than enough. Take care of yourself today and every day. You've got all the love you need already.

With love,
