Your Relationship Status on Valentine's Day
Worried about being single on Valentine’s Day?
Please don’t, dear one. Let me tell you about my final Valentine’s Day as a single woman.
On the surface, it unfolded much like other V-days in the past. I got together with girl friends to eat chocolate, drink wine, and watch a beloved rom-com (probably Bridget Jones).
That year, many of my friends had just started dating new people. While they were giddy with the sweetness of new romance, I was my same singleton self (yep, Bridget Jones reference!).
But unlike other years, I didn’t respond like Bridget, with all of her adorable wallowing. I actually felt happy and excited for my friends.
That’s because I was also happy and excited for me. Because even though my own Mark Darcy had not come onto the scene yet, I already felt in love. I loved who I was on the inside and I loved my life. And I knew in my bones that my turn was coming.
It did. Just 13 days later, on February 27, I had my first date with my sacred partner, Darrin. That was five years ago. And while many of my friends’ new romances that year fizzled out, Darrin and I are now married and still madly in love.
So here’s the news: your relationship status on Valentine’s Day is no indicator of your future with love.
The best indicator of your future with love is always how you feel about yourself. The more you shower yourself with care, and wrap yourself in compassion when you are feeling down, the readier you will be for your own sacred love. And that’s when it tends to show up.
