So it's February...already?????

Holy Jesus- part of me just realized that it's February (I know...mad late right?). I say this realizing it's already the Middle of February. Wow...I sure feel like I was in a time capsule for a bit.

Anyways, yesterday was Valentine's Day, but I decided to make it a "Love Yourself" Day. I think Valentine's day is not just a tacky holiday, but hella heteronormative and that is a problem for me and anyone else who believes so. But as of late, I realized that on any other day, Valentine's would've made me feel everything from bitterness to jaded and cynical feelings. So when I woke up yesterday with nothing but good thoughts, I was extremely surprised. I woke up wanting to tell my friends that I appreciate them, my family that I love them, and myself that well...I am officially  here to stay forever and beyond. I know that sounds hella cheesy, but think about it. When was the last time that you said to yourself "I refuse to be unhappy with you" or "Damn you are getting it together"???? For me- a LONG time.  And since I came back from Gambia I've felt like this. So I am just really appreciating what the Universe is letting me feel right now. Cause this is the moment when good things are going to come.
