Happy Valentines my shaylaaaa, My Tobaby 🥺💘,

In my life, I’ve actually never given anyone a valentine’s gift, neither have I received, except those days in primary 3 and 2 where we have to pick a random name in the box and gift them,(my mum always bought the gifts). I don’t get anything today, and that’s okay, because I wasn’t expecting anything, not even your letter😂, so Thank you.

“To be loved is to be seen” I agree like mad!, and I’m also learning to chose me, because if I don’t chose me first, nobody would😂. But it’s fine😹, and my day went okay, I spent 2hours in class learning how to check a patients pulse and temperature, I hope that someday I get to be your nurse😹. Then my friends went to get cake, but I don’t eat cake (between me and you, I do. But I just don’t) I dunno if you get it 😹, then I went to church😹, and I got your letter, Thank you my Tobaby💘! Enjoy🫶🏾😙!

I love you❤️!

I spent the whole day in my room. I spent two hours in class and that’s absolutely OK cause I’d rather be alone than be with someone that makes me feel not seen and makes me feel even lonely. I love my peace company, my alone time and my space all I need is myself and God for the meantime until I find my lifetime soulmate .

I’ve actually never received. I’ve never been in any relationship, but I’ve given cause I’m more of a giver. Even when I knew people didn’t like me. I still gave them. I gave a lot of people in my class bandana on Valentine’s Day.

I deserve love

I deserve to be Heard

I deserve to be seen

And if somebody or anybody can't love me the way I want to be loved then I will love myself so much that I won't depend or need people's love to be seen or Heard

Self love is important! But how can I learn to love myself and put myself first when all I have ever known is to love and care for my friends and family more than I have ever done myself. “To be loved is to be seen” but how do I even know what it feels like to be seen when I don’t even see me. Standing in front of a gigantic mirror and I still don’t recognize the person staring back. Sometimes I think I’m broken. I love love, I want love, I crave love but I don’t know if what I’m really praying for is love since I’ve only ever experienced it onesided. But I do know something is lacking and I hope I can fill the void in me someday. Happy belated Valentine’s Day Tobe atleast I see you ❣️

You deserve love. We all deserve to be safe, seen, heard and loved We all deserve something good and even though sometimes we don’t really get that and it feels lonely, depressing sad, racing mind, and all that we all have to put ourselves first in love our self and do what’s best forUs, someone said that after seven years of marriage, your husband stops listening to you I don’t know why this is

I am so happy to hear from you my tobaby❤❤

Exactly I don't want half love, I want the kind that not only feels real but is also real

We all have that moment where we feel we are not loved because of one person but then we look around and see that we are surrounded by people who would do anything for us

Happy valentines day😘❤

The way you write about everyday things—noodles, eggs, a plastic rose—makes them feel important. Like proof that love isn’t always in big moments but in the small, quiet things. In the way a mother teaches you something without making you feel small, in the way you notice someone who feels unseen, in the way you still make your eggs the way she taught you.

Choosing yourself isn’t always easy, but it’s necessary. Love shouldn’t feel like a guessing game, shouldn’t be given in halves or only on certain days. It should be steady, clear, and honest. And it’s good that you’re learning that. It’s good that you know you deserve more.

If you buy the overpriced roses tomorrow, I hope it’s because you want to, not because you feel like you have to. And if you don’t, that’s okay too. Either way, you are already surrounded by love. More than you realize.
