Celebrating Valentine's Day without a Valentine?
A few weeks before Valentines day, I met with a few friends at a gathering. A discussion about Valentine's day came up, it was interesting to see different reactions from everyone in the group.
One of the ladies mentioned that she was sad because she didn't have a special man in her life and no plans for Valentine's day. I remembered how many times before I met my husband I felt the same. Thinking and desiring to share the day with someone special to call my Valentine. Needing something that was clearly out of my reach to make me feel loved. Now that I think about that day, I realize how crazy it was to want what I didn’t have right there and then. The Universe would not drop someone special in my life instantly. What I was creating with my thoughts and feelings was loneliness and feeling not good enough. It was awful.
Recently, I’ve been wondering how the same scenario would play out today. Living during the pandemic, facing so many unknown factors in our lives plus Valentines day being right around the corner. This Valentine’s day could create a much more intense feelings for those who desire having that special someone in their lives. What if we have the happiness we are seeking so desperately from outside, within us.
I am grateful to have that special someone in my life every day. Finding the right person took a while and it happened when I was at the happiest point of my life. I was happy in my heart before even meeting him.
Love starts from within, when we have self love, compassion and appreciation for who we are without any judgments, we attract the right people to us.
When we feel joy within us, we are open to notice those we can resonate with. Our personality attracting them to us and we connect with them on a higher spiritual level. Commitment to love brings us together.
The answer to "Is it possible to celebrate Valentine's day with a Valentine?" is a big fat YES, even if you are not looking for a romantic relationship.
Why not during next Valentines day, we make enjoying who we are a priority. Celebrating and loving ourselves from within, with or without a Valentine. Filling up our hearts with the joy of LOVE then sharing it with everyone around us. As a wise man said "Love is an inside job" and the more give it, the more you get it back.
