Valentines Day - You are LOVED

Hey Girl! You are beautiful, you are loved you are enough!

Let's be honest though some of us find Valentine's day a drag. The thought of watching couples swoon while we spend another year unromanced is annoying at the least. We see the shops lined with teddy bears and chocolates in heart-shaped boxes and cringe because we expect that nothing will be delivered to our door. 

Well, don't worry sister, we have a 'lonely heart' pep talk for you.

1. Romance may be just around the corner...but even if it's not...you're gonna be ok!

Cheers to all those who found love on any day other the fourteenth of February, that's most of us, right? Tomorrow you may run into the love of life and if not tomorrow maybe next Tuesday, or some random rainy day in October. Valentine's day shouldn't be a reminder of what you lack, but rather a celebration of what is possible and it is possible that there is a wild romance for you too darling. It's a celebration of love, of connection, and 'loved' is what you are no matter what! You are enough just the way you are, single, in a relationship, we say invest in those around you who love you most. Go out and live, do fun things...and love will find you when you least expect it.

2. No love is better than fake love.

I know many of you are feeling this one. You have been in relationships where there has been sweet talk and cute texts, gifts and flowers, exciting trips away and maybe even the promise of forever, but when it comes to forgiveness, kindness, gentleness, understanding and loyalty, there seems to be a serious lack. This is fake love or should I say 'no love telling lies.' Real love is more than attention or affection. It is deep and true and proven time and time again. That doesn't mean we don't desire french champagne and poetry, heck, there are times when a girl needs to be serenaded, but showy things can never stack up against real love.

Valentine's day often highlights romance and the expression of feelings, which is beautiful but also fleeting and we should never care more than a minute or two for something that comes and goes as quickly as the day itself. It is ok to wait for what is rare, meaningful and lasting and such love doesn't always consider the calendar year.

3. You are LOVABLE Girl!

Ah even if the flowers don't come, you sweet thang are worth loving!
