I feel so much better about life than I did around 18 months ago. Back then I was beginning to address long-term mental health struggles and I was having some CBT sessions and taking prescribed sertraline. Valentine’s Day is a day that has been a trigger in the past with loneliness a key factor. However, what I now am able to do much better is appreciate the love I have in my life and also how I feel about myself. I have found a level a peace and happiness, which is all I wanted to achieve over the last 18 months. A sense of perspective too with so many beautiful people having to go through stuff I could never fully understand, simply to stay alive. Not forgetting that for some people today will be incredibly hard missing their loved ones. That is the tough stuff x

Of course, I will no doubt feel a pang of disappointment when the post draws a blank, that is only natural. To be fair my love life has been a lifelong disaster area 🤣 But I will enjoy today as much as anyone and take great happiness seeing people celebrating their love for each other xxx
