Sometimes you just have to be your own Valentine. Sometimes, what you thought was on track for something more suddenly gets derailed, and you don't have an explanation for it. Sometimes things can be going so well, and then you're left holding the bag of feelings on your own, without an explanation. Listen, that's on them, doll. Not on you. Maybe they couldn't handle your awesomeness. Maybe they got scared of their feelings. Maybe they were just playing you. It's possible you may never know why. And you have to learn to be ok with that. Sometimes you realize that you need more than what they are willing or able to give. And you know that if you continue to accept the bare minimum, or less, that you would be settling. And you were not born to settle for less than what your soul and your heart need. At times like these, you have to put yourself first. Date yourself. Love yourself. Put them behind you and move forward. Do your hair toss, check your nails, and when someone asks you how you're feeling, you can tell them you're feeling good as hell...and mean it. #Valentine #ValentinesDay #BeYourOwnValentine #ItsGoingToBeOk #MomTalk #Advice #Wisdom #SingleMom #TexasGirl #Over40 #GenX #Follow https://www.instagram.com/p/CoqXil9NSiLVcG4M07sD8K7TehL3Jy_jpJT5yw0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
