There is nothing like that void that can overcome a person when they are not in a relationship on Valentine's Day. A few people fill it with sorrow and self pity, while others choose to mask their disappointment by burying their feelings in denial. I was personally guilty of a mixture of these, until I finally figured something out. My happiness does not depend on someone else. I do not have to let another human being have power over the way I feel, that is completely up to me. It is my responsibility to choose the way I react to each individual situation, my love life included.
The quickest way to falling right back down that unstable roller coaster of emotion is by letting someone else affect your state of mind. You deserve happiness, yes, YOU! There is nothing stopping you from attaining that pure state of joy other than yourself. If you find yourself in a situation which limits that innate freedom, do something about it. Don't just wallow in depressing feelings and wish for it, be proactive and make it happen.
The best piece of advice that I can share is to learn to truly love and respect yourself first before you allow anyone else to. Chase your passions and take pride in what you do, the rest will follow abundantly. With that said, Happy "Love Yourself" Day ☺
