We don’t have to wait for someone else to show us love, we have more than enough inside ourselves, so every once in awhile, take some time and remember to show yourself some love.
Sometimes, the universe decides it’s time to throw us some curveballs – sometimes, multiple curveballs at once – until we get to a point where we feel like we can’t really handle it anymore.
When you get to those points, don’t forget to take some time for yourself and do something for YOU. Don’t worry about what other people are going to think, don’t worry about the things you might miss if you say no to plans, just take some time to do something that’s going to make YOU happy. We so often forget ourselves in trying to make everyone else happy.
This spring has been a little rocky for me, as I think it has been for many people. I’ve been busy, there have been times when I’ve been stressed and anxious, I’ve been building new friendships, and I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world. But in the midst of everything, I realized how much of a break I really needed.
I needed time to just myself. I needed a long drive, I needed a reset.
Then I saw that there was a production of Waitress the Musical, my favorite show, in Ogunquit, ME and one of my FAVORITE Broadway actors was in it (Shoutout Matt DeAngelis).
At the last minute, I bought a ticket, I hopped in my car, and I drove to Maine. I took myself to dinner, I met new people, and I laughed and cried along to my favorite musical. It was low-key, it was an easy drive, but it was everything I needed.
My point here is this: don’t underestimate the small things. Buy the ticket, take the drive, and do something that’s going to make you smile. If you’re struggling right now or just feel like you need a break from reality, take yourself on a date.
