Feeling hopeless about Upcoming Valentine's
A single mom to a newborn (<1 year old), navigating life since pregnancy with little to no break, and carrying the weight of overwhelming stress for over a year now... With Valentine’s season approaching—a day I haven’t celebrated in what feels like forever—I can’t help but wonder: what do single moms do to make themselves feel special on a day like this?
It’s just another weekday, and I’ll be working, but I’d love to hear ideas or little acts of self-love that can make the day feel even a little brighter. To all the single moms out there, how do you make time for yourself amidst it all?
I always by my friend flowers because she and I were breaking up from toxic men at the same time one year and I like to remind her that she is loved whether she's with a man or not. Her love language is gifts and mine is words of affirmation so the kind words she says back reminds me I'm also appreciated and loved even if I'm not with a man
