My 19th year around the sun held a Valentines day filled with love for myself. A day to make ME feel good and tell myself 'You deserve all the love in the world as much as anyone else'. I've never shared a Valentines because lil Lucy Jane has never found what love really is, but I don't see that as a bad thing. I don't wallow in a pit of self-pity as I emanate all my singleness, I get up and make the day about me because I have found love for myself. I pristinely paint on my make up because I want to look in mirror and adore my reflection. I slip on my prettiest red dress because I want to dance around aimlessly to my favourite songs and feel a million dollars. I wear a smile on my face because I want to continuously emit all the love I hold inside to everyone around me!
2018 is the year of me.
Regardless of sounding selfish, I want to put myself first because I should be the most important person in my life. I want to grow and develop into a version of me I cannot fault, one I will forever feel happy in and feel 100% proud of. I want to be my own best friend, my own life coach, my own cheerleader and pour love into myself because I deserve it! Of course I care for everyone in my life and am so grateful to be surrounded by amazing people, but I think everyone needs to put themselves first sometimes.
In the wise words of RuPaul...
'If you don't love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?'
Lucy Jane
