Hello, my beautiful people, and welcome back to the moments podcast.
What a morning it has been.
Let me tell you that it is Friday.
And today I tried to wake up in a really good mood.
And I woke up and realized I didn't have any sheets on my bed
because I haven't been able to do my laundry yet.
And I was like, OK, whatever.
It's fine. I feel gross, but I'm going to go watch the sunrise.
So I get in my car or I don't even get in my car.
I go to make my coffee.
Do you guys know what I do?
I start the coffee without a mug in the thing.
So I literally brew a whole cup of coffee right onto our kitchen counter.
I don't know how I did that one.
But anyways, I get in the car, I go to the sunrise. It's beautiful.
Except I'm driving in and I'm holding my mug of coffee
and I'm going over this bumpy road like we're fully off roading.
My coffee is just splashing everywhere.
Total disaster. Sunrise is beautiful, though.
I head home.
I try to get into our gate and I don't have my key to get in.
So I have to call security.
And anytime we have to do that, we get so yelled at.
And it's so sad because like, I don't know, we don't need to do it that often.
But they get so mad at us when we don't have our key.
And the girls couldn't bring it out because they were still sleeping.
Anyways, I'm I'm sitting in my car after I'm talking to Lissette.
Like, I'm just not having a good morning.
I don't know what's going on.
And as I'm telling her that and as I'm in like this terrible mood,
there is a freaking cockroach,
a cockroach running around on my on my radio stereo thing.
And yeah, that's kind of how my morning went.
And then I came inside and then I was a little bit stressed
that I had to record because, you know, and you're just not feeling it.
Well, I wasn't feeling it.
And now I gave myself time to like regroup and I am feeling it.
I still don't really know what we're going to talk about.
But but we're here and we're doing this together.
And I'm excited.
And I'm not recording in my car because it is infested with cockroaches.
But my my friends are at a workout.
So I do have the house to ourself.
So we're sitting inside and we're recording and this is new and it's fun.
And I like it on the couch.
I have a beautiful view.
I have plenty of open space.
So it's super interesting.
But I am excited to record this episode
because I believe that this episode is coming out on Valentine's Day.
Meaning since it's a holiday episode, I'm going to keep it nice and short.
I'm going to get to the point,
but I want you guys to know that this episode is all about loving yourself.
Moments in romanticizing your life, moments in falling in love with yourself,
moments in spending Valentine's Day alone, moments in being single,
whatever you want to call it.
That's what we're talking about
because we've all spent way too many Valentine's Day being sad over boys.
Being sad that we're single, being sad that no one likes us.
Why are we like that?
Like, why does it matter?
Why do we need anyone to like us?
The only important thing is if you like yourself,
because you're the only one you have in the long run.
Anyway, be your own best friend, be your own hype woman, you know?
So that's what we're going to be talking about.
And honestly, I don't know if anyone else has noticed this,
but I feel like there's been something in the air
and I feel as though a lot of people are breaking up.
And I don't know why.
I don't know what's going on.
But a lot of people that I know like or follow
have been ending these long relationships.
And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's going on?
A lot of you guys know I've been in one relationship and it honestly,
like as much as I thought it was serious and I thought I was in love,
I might have been in love, but I wasn't in love.
Does that make any sense?
Like, I know that there's more out there for me
and there's going to be someone out there who I'm more in love with
and less comfortable with.
Like, I think my last relationship was a lot more about comfort.
And hopefully wherever I find myself in the future is more about love.
We're not talking about that.
We're not thinking about that.
We are just learning to love ourselves.
I have spent a lot of time hating myself.
I'll be honest. I'll say it.
We literally all have.
We've all looked in the mirror
and been like, you, why do you look like that or you that looks bad
or just you in general?
We're just so rude to ourselves
and we don't show ourselves any kindness or any compassion.
And I'm saying that so strongly because that was literally me this morning.
I am preaching all this and I'm thinking about how it was acting this morning.
And let me just let me give you some backstory.
Last night I ate so much cookie dough.
It's actually absurd.
You know how they sell the Toll House chocolate chip cookies
and they come in little squares.
Well, I ate half of it was a lot of cookie dough.
OK, we're not going to get into it.
It doesn't matter anymore.
I'm not going to allow myself to really dwell on it.
But last night I was like, dude, how did I just see that much cookie dough?
And I had like three freaking mochis.
We were having pizza.
I had eggs, potatoes.
I literally had a hot.
Guys, it doesn't matter.
Food is food. It tasted good.
I enjoyed it.
And I'm telling myself right now to stop hating on myself
for doing things like that.
Everything is OK in moderation.
Everything is OK.
It's just it's just about balance.
So we just need to focus on balance a little bit more.
Sorry, I'm really having a hard time speaking English today.
I don't know what mood I'm in. It's a weird one.
I always forget how much comfort recording these episodes brings me.
Because I didn't make an outline at all.
So it's going to be another one where I'm kind of all over the place.
But I actually got some really cool feedback on last week's episode,
which was one of my favorite when I didn't have an outline.
So we'll see where this takes us.
We'll see where it goes.
Again, I'm keeping it kind of short and we're just talking about you
and me and us and how we need to stop being so mean to ourselves.
But yeah, not exactly sure where I was going with that.
I was really mad at myself this morning for eating all that cookie dough.
And I was like, you like, you're so puffy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
No, dude, you're just human.
You just are going to have days where you look different than other days.
And it doesn't matter.
And no one's paying attention to your body except you.
So being so hard on yourself is only going to kill your mood
instead of make you happier.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, we need to start treating ourselves like someone that we love.
Think about your best friend.
When you hear your best friend talking down on themselves
or being so, so, so rude to themselves and just hating on it.
Well, how do you feel like you want to tell them to stop being so mean
to themselves, right?
Because you've never perceived them that way.
You perceive them as someone beautiful, amazing, incredible.
And you don't notice if their eyes look a little bit puffier
than they did the day before, right?
Not at all.
And that's why you need to treat yourself like your own best friend,
because you don't deserve to be talking to yourself that way.
If your best friend talked to you that way, you wouldn't keep them in your life.
So why do you allow yourself to treat you that way?
It's all about learning how to love yourself,
because one of the coolest things I've learned and I've
I've found an understanding for is that people are going to treat you
the way that you treat yourself.
Like you really set the standard for how people treat you
when you're not kind to yourself.
You're not genuine to yourself.
You don't respect yourself.
Other people aren't going to respect you.
You're going to get walked over a lot more than you realize.
And I'll tell you that I learned that the hard way.
And it is until you really start to take care of yourself
and take care of your boundaries and just kind of love.
You are love who you are, even at your worst.
People are going to treat you like crap and you're just going to let it happen.
And you, my friend, do not deserve that at all.
And I know it is so hard to do
when you feel gross, trying to force yourself to be confident
is probably the most impossible thing ever.
And it might sound stupid, but it is one of the hardest things to overcome.
You have to start small.
You have to look in the mirror and the things that you always hate yourself for.
Tell yourself you love them in the mirror until you really start loving them.
You're not going to like hearing this one,
but I'm going to tell you that no one can love you until you love yourself.
You have to stop waiting for someone to come
fill that hole in your heart with love because you're the one that needs to do that.
You are the one who needs to love yourself before someone else can love you,
because if you wait for someone else to fill that void,
it's never going to feel full.
Because I promise the thing that you're missing is yourself.
And I know it can sound stupid and no one really wants to believe it.
No one really wants to believe
that you have to love yourself before someone else can love you.
Because what a lot of people do
is they'll find someone who loves what they don't like about themselves
and they'll bring that person into their lives.
And that person will fill that void for a while.
But it still never feels right.
You still never feel whole.
You still never really know why you feel the way that you do.
And eventually that person will leave your life
and it'll leave you feeling even more empty than it did the time before.
And I don't mean to make this so like negative and harsh,
but sometimes it's what you need to hear to really encourage you
to take the first step towards loving yourself.
And this Valentine's Day, that's exactly what we're doing.
It's a hot girl Valentine's Day.
I hated I hated saying that, but you know what?
It is what it is.
And I also want to tell you guys about HelloFresh.
You guys know I stay hyping you guys up, and I'm also going to stay hyping
HelloFresh up because it actually is my favorite.
So let me tell you a little bit more about it.
I talked about it last week or maybe the week before.
But HelloFresh, you get farm fresh pre-portioned ingredients
with seasonal recipes delivered right to your doorstep.
You get to skip the trip to the grocery store and count on HelloFresh
to make at home cooking easy, fun and affordable.
Hence why it's America's number one meal kit.
Also, HelloFresh offers the flexibility you need to easily customize
your order online or in the app.
You can easily change your delivery day, food preferences and plan your size
or skip a week whenever you want to.
Also, another thing that I love is that HelloFresh offers 50 menu
and market items to choose from every single week.
That's literally 50.
And there's veggie fit and wholesome, family friendly and gourmet options.
Providing you with plenty of variety.
And if you guys are in college or you're living on your own
and you're at that stage where you still aren't like very good at cooking,
but you need to learn how to cook because your parents aren't cooking for you anymore.
That's exactly why you need HelloFresh.
It is actually the most convenient thing ever.
And I'm not making that up.
Also, I told you guys Lisette's brother has HelloFresh
and he literally sends us pictures of his meals every single night.
He loves it. So you guys should also try it.
Also, my friend Sam, who helps me upload and edit the podcast.
She texted me after she was uploading the podcast the last time I did this ad.
And she's like, dude, no way.
I just I've been using HelloFresh and now you get to use your code.
And I'm so excited.
And I don't know, it was just a wholesome little moment.
But now you guys know why I love HelloFresh.
Literally, we all do. You should definitely try it.
So I want you guys to go to HelloFresh.com slash moment 16
and use code moment 16 for up to 16 free meals and three free gifts.
Gifts. I don't know why I said griffs.
Anyways, don't forget to try HelloFresh.
America's number one meal kit at HelloFresh.com slash moment 16
and use code moment 16 for up to 16 free meals and three free gifts.
Really say their tips.
Maybe they're more so advice or just like pieces of information
to hold on to as you move through Valentine's Day
and you see people in relationships.
And I know it sucks sometimes.
Trust me, I'm still human.
I still see couples.
And I'm like, dang, that would be nice.
But I also am at a point where it's like when I meet the right person.
I'll know and they'll come into my life
and it'll be so comfortable and so simple and so easy.
And it won't have to be this whole thing.
It'll just happen.
You know?
I don't know. I don't know.
I'm kind of all over the place this morning.
But the first thing I'm telling you guys is to stop comparing yourself
to other people.
You are one of a kind.
You are made to be the way that you are.
And I know that social media makes this really, really hard
to process and to believe
because it puts out just this beauty standard that literally should not exist.
And I don't know how we let it get to this point.
But you have to stop comparing yourself.
And the one thing that really helps me when it comes to this
is understanding that someone else's beauty does not take away from my own
and understanding that I'm not going to be everyone's type,
but there's seven billion people in the world.
And there sure as heck are some people out there
whose type I am, you know, and this just makes it a lot easier
because I just spent so much time being like, oh, but she's so perfect
and she's so skinny and this and that and this and that.
And I would be like, OK, but what does that take away?
Like that doesn't that doesn't change who I am.
You know, like that doesn't change me.
She can be beautiful and I can, too.
And it doesn't matter, you know.
Anyways. Next one.
Don't worry about anyone else's opinion.
Literally don't take anything personally.
If you guys haven't read The Four Agreements, I need you to read that book.
It's a super easy read.
It teaches you so much about life, opens your eyes and just really helps
you understand why you shouldn't take anything personally,
because most of the time when people have something to say about you,
it's coming from a place of projection.
And I've talked about this in many episodes before,
but people project their own insecurities onto you.
So something they don't love about themselves.
If they see that you do love it about yourselves, they're going to yourself.
They're going to find a reason to hate on it.
That's just how people work.
It's how we're trained.
It's how we're conditioned.
But sometimes that takes a long time
and you have to let people be on their own path and their own schedule.
And eventually they'll understand.
Not to say things like that about people or to people,
but just know in your heart not to take things personally.
People project nothing that anyone says about you really has anything to do
with you, and it has all to do with that.
You also can't please everyone.
You can't make everyone happy.
You can't be perfect for everyone, but you can be good enough for yourself.
So stop giving a crap what anyone else has to say about you.
I feel really strongly about that one because it's affected my life so much
because for so long I just needed to get everyone's approval
and doing this whole like line of work in social media.
You don't get that ever because someone always has something to say.
But that's OK.
Don't take anything personally.
Next one.
Allow yourself to make mistakes.
For some reason, we make one mistake and it's the end of the world.
Me making my coffee this morning and it overflowing.
All over the kitchen counter.
I was still in a bad mood about that literally until I just said it right now.
And now what I'm doing is I'm allowing myself to make that mistake.
I cleaned it up.
It should not still be weighing on me.
It should not still be ruining my day, you know, so I'm letting that go.
This is me letting that go.
I'm allowing myself to make that mistake.
But moral of that story is that you don't need to be perfect.
Again, it just goes back to the fact that you're not going to please everyone.
You don't have to be perfect for everyone.
You're going to make mistakes.
It's a part of being human.
You have to make mistakes to be able to learn and to grow.
And especially at the age that most of us are at,
I don't know how old you are listening to this.
I think there's people as young as like 12 and 13 listening,
and there's also people as old as like 30 listening.
We're all still really young and we're all still going to make a lot of mistakes,
probably until the day that we die.
But this is the age that we're supposed to make mistakes.
The age that we're going to learn the most, and.
It's really cool to understand that learning
is really powerful.
And then when you think about that, you just I don't know.
It just gets easier to understand that you're going to you got to make mistakes.
And I know that the older you get, the more pressure there is to feel.
Like you're perfect and like you're not going to mess up sometimes.
I mean, the older I get, I'm watching all my friends graduate college
and I'm not quite there yet because I'm just taking some time off of school.
I don't know if I'm going to go back to school,
but I love what I'm doing and I'm really confident that I can create
some really, really amazing stuff without a degree.
But I get really hard on myself for the fact that I don't have one.
And all my friends do, and they're getting these jobs.
And I don't know, we can save that for another episode
because it's a lot to talk about, but.
Allow yourself to make mistakes.
Moving on.
I'm coming at you again with this one.
Your body is the least interesting thing about you.
Stop paying attention to it so much.
Literally, if it helps for now, if you have to fake it till you make it,
stop looking in the mirror so often.
Because you are so much more than a body, you are not a body,
you are a soul, you are a mind, you have creativity,
you have this beautiful power that you don't even realize
because you get too caught up in thinking about how your boobs look
or how your butt looks or how your stomach looks,
when literally that doesn't matter.
Especially if you're sitting around and you're looking for a lifelong partner.
If they only like you for that, I hate to break it to you.
But eventually we are going to get a lot older and a lot wrinklier.
And, you know, it's just we're not going to look like that forever.
So you need to find someone who loves you for your mind,
for your creativity, for the way that you think,
for who you are on a deeper level than what you look like.
So I want you to know that you're dodging a bullet
if someone doesn't like you because of what you look like.
You're dodging a bullet by running from that, I promise.
You want someone, you want people in your life
who love you for who you really are.
So just know your body is the least interesting thing about you.
And your value does not lie in what your body looks like.
I'm just saying, please hold on to that one, because I know it's hard out there.
I know it's tough scrolling through Instagram and TikTok.
Also, I kind of stopped scrolling through Instagram and TikTok.
And it's actually been really good for my mental health.
So you guys should try to do that a little bit.
Not like all the time.
I'm not going to sit here and be like, yeah,
I actually don't have any TikTok screen time because that would be such a lie.
But my account did get banned.
Like, guys, I almost lost my whole TikTok account.
Isn't that terrifying?
Maybe not to you, but it was to me because I love TikTok.
And TikTok is the whole reason that I'm here and I'm able to record this.
But anyways, I got my account back, but I'm still banned.
Like, I can't post on it until I actually want to say Monday,
like when this episode comes out.
It's kept me off of TikTok a little bit.
And I very much appreciate that because I haven't been sucked into the trap.
So, yeah, just if you want to take some time off of TikTok, go for it.
OK, this one is a hard pill to swallow.
Don't be afraid to let go of toxic people.
It's really bad for me to give advice on this one
because I am really bad at letting go of toxic people.
I will hold relationships and friendships into my life,
even if they hurt me for like ever,
because I don't know how to understand
that some people just aren't good for my mental health.
Instead, I'm like, oh, no, but they're just growing and changing.
And like they're becoming a better person.
Sometimes people don't change.
And I'm not trying to be negative.
I'm not at all, because I do believe that people change and people grow.
In some cases, I'm just learning in my own life
that sometimes I keep toxic people in my life
and I don't really have that much of a problem with it.
I don't know how to explain it and I don't know where I'm going with it.
But I like to believe that people will soon understand.
And I like to inspire people to treat people better.
So I try to treat people right.
But my point of that was still supposed to be don't keep toxic people in your life.
And as I said, it is when I realized that I'm not very good at doing this one myself.
So if you can take this advice, go for it.
If you're like me, I just want you to protect your energy.
I want you to make sure that you still have your boundaries
and you respect yourself because then you'll be a little bit more respected.
I don't know that that bullet point was kind of all over the place.
Take what you want from it.
I know I said a lot.
So you guys get the idea.
You know how my brain works at this point.
This next one that me and you are going to work on together
is stepping out of our comfort zone and not even that.
More so processing your fears.
I'm a lot.
I'm afraid of a lot of things in life and I tend to run from them.
But I think it's very important, important along
the journey of understanding yourself and loving yourself
fully for who you are is facing your fears.
And I don't even necessarily mean fear of heights, fear of bugs.
I mean, just just real deeper, deeper fears.
Like I find myself to be a little bit afraid of love.
I'm afraid of intimacy.
I'm afraid of things that are just, I don't know, like deeper.
And I've always just ran from those fears.
And I don't I don't want to run from that anymore.
I've really been focusing on being able to open my heart
and just opening, I don't know, opening my.
My mind, my everything, just being like ready
and willing to to experience life.
And just learning on learning how to trust my gut,
which leads me into the next thing is just trusting yourself,
trusting your intuition, trusting your gut.
You got to do it.
You should do it because your your body knows you best.
It really does.
So when it tells you something is good for you or something is bad for you,
you have to listen to it
because your body is going to tell you something different than your mind
in a lot of cases.
If you feel uneasy about something or someone, but your brain is like,
no, no, no, just give them a second chance or just this or just that.
Trust your body.
You know, it hasn't failed me yet, and I'll still find myself
using my brain sometimes instead of my body.
But again, I'm human.
I'm allowing myself to make mistakes.
I'm learning from every experience that I do experience.
And yeah, just trust your gut.
Your feelings are so valid
and the heart knows what it needs and what it wants.
Next thing we're doing to have a hot girl Valentine's Day
is literally take every opportunity that you can get.
My mom has been telling me this since I was little and by little.
I mean, honestly, probably forever.
But I remember in middle school, I first got certified to teach yoga
and all these opportunities arose like interviews and this and that.
And I never really wanted to do it, and I don't know why.
But my mom always said, when a door opens, you walk through it.
When an opportunity comes up, you take it
because you never know what is going to lead you to what.
And ever since she told me that and I finally understood it,
my life has literally changed so much.
I mean, you guys have kind of watched it happen a lot.
It happened before I started doing all this TikTok stuff, too.
But since the TikTok stuff, you guys have been able to see this happen.
I've always been talking about how you have to take opportunity,
even when it's uncomfortable or it's unknown.
But you should never say no to a cool opportunity.
It's what got me here.
And I'm so grateful for it.
And it's the one if you're going to take away anything from this episode,
this is the number one thing.
Take opportunities and run with them
because one opportunity leads to the next, which leads to the next,
which before you know it, who knows where you're going to be?
Take every opportunity.
Next one is put yourself first, please.
Come on. I know.
I know my Enneagram type twos out there, my givers.
You have a really hard time doing this.
And so do a lot of other people, my people pleasers out there, my empath.
None of you are putting yourself first.
You're focusing a lot on other people.
And I'm one of those people, too.
And I don't really put myself first.
And when other people are going through it around me,
I find myself going through it and I can't really explain it.
And it's just this weird transmission of energy
where I feel down if someone close to me feels down.
Yeah, we got to work on that.
We do, because there's a difference between being there
for someone and truly supporting them
and then feeling all of their emotions.
We need to find a way for us to stop feeling all of their emotions,
but still be able to be there for them.
I'm still struggling with this one, but I will say for the most part,
I do put myself first.
I've become super aware of what I need and of my alone time and all that stuff.
You guys have seen that.
I've talked about it.
We don't have to get too into it, but I am going to remind you right now.
Put yourself first.
Next one is just.
Allow yourself to feel the emotions, allow yourself to feel the waves.
Before I started this episode today, I was like, no, I'm kind of like in a bad mood.
I'm kind of angry, like I don't sound like happy and bubbly.
I can't record an episode right now.
Dude, I'm human.
You're human.
We're all human.
Embrace your emotions.
There's going to be waves.
There's going to be roller coasters.
You can be the happiest person in the world, and there's still going to be days
where you're like, ah, this sucks or this is a bad day.
You know, you can't you can't change everything.
So I want you to feel your emotions.
And that being said, I want you to feel the happy emotions.
We try to undermine.
Or like degrade our happiness for some reason, like whenever we get happy,
we find something to be sad about.
But how come whenever we get sad, we don't always find something to be happy about?
It's like this weird double standard thing that doesn't really make any sense.
So another thing I want you to take away from this episode
is to just feel your emotions and find beauty in simple things
and be kind to yourself.
Just be your own best friend.
Start taking vitamins.
Take your supplements.
Eat your vegetables.
Speaking of vitamins, I'm going to tell you guys about athletic greens again.
I told you guys about athletic greens last week, and I'm telling you it again
because literally it's my favorite thing ever.
I have my my greens sitting right next to me right now as we speak.
But I started taking athletic greens just because I was not taking care of my body
at all, and I knew that it needed more and it needed a little bit more nutrition
because I'm also really bad at eating vegetables.
So that's really why I got into it.
But I have not been able to stop.
So I figured I'd got I'd gotten to a point where it was time to share it with you.
And I want you guys to know that with with one scoop of athletic greens,
you're absorbing 75 high quality vitamins, minerals, whole food source,
superfoods, probiotics to help you start your day right.
I mean, it really doesn't get much better than that.
It's a special blend of ingredients that supports your gut health,
your nervous system, your immune system, your energy recovery, focus and aging.
Pretty much all of the things I take my athletic greens.
I try to take it every morning.
I will say with my squirrel brain, I sometimes forget in the morning,
but I have it at least every other day.
I've noticed that I digest things better.
My energy is higher.
And overall, I just it just makes me feel good.
It's one of those things that I don't even feel like I need to explain more
than it makes me feel good.
It tastes delicious.
It's just become like a flavor that I enjoy.
It doesn't taste super like greens.
I don't know if you guys have ever tried greens, but it actually tastes good.
It also literally cost you less than three dollars a day.
And you're investing in your own health, which is something I seriously recommend.
We all do a little bit more.
I mean, you spend like 60 dollars to get your nails done.
You can spend three dollars on some vitamins, superfoods and probiotics.
And if you don't want to believe me, they literally have over 7000 five star reviews.
So just just trust me.
And a lot of people are taking some kind of multivitamin.
So I think it's important to choose one that at least has high quality ingredients
that your body will actually absorb versus just some junk that they think might work.
And again, I told you guys this last week, but this is my favorite part
of the whole brand is that for every purchase, they donate to organizations
helping to get nutritious food to kids and me, including the No Hungry Year in the US.
And in 2020, they donated over one point two million meals to kids.
Isn't that insane?
It really makes my day.
And I actually love athletic green.
So I'm going to tell you guys how to get it for yourself.
It's time to reclaim your health and arm your immune system
with convenient daily nutrition, especially heading into the flu and cold season.
It's just one scoop of athletic greens in a cup of water every day.
And that's it.

And to make it easy, athletic greens is going to give you a free one year
supply of immune supporting vitamin D and five free travel packs with your first purchase.
All you have to do is visit athletic greens dot com slash moments.
Again, that is athletic greens dot com slash moments to take ownership over your health

Trust me, you guys.
Athletic Greens is actually just where it's at.
I'm not even kidding.
These are two of my favorite ads to do and in the same episode.
So cheers to Hello Fresh and Athletic Greens.
I I said I was going to make this episode short
and I accidentally made it like normal length time.
So I'm going to kind of bring it to a close now.
But but my final things that I want to tell you
is that being with yourself on Valentine's Day is a beautiful thing
because I want you to know that at some point in your life,
you're going to probably get married and you're never going to get to be
just there for yourself.
So appreciate your alone time and embrace it because
we're really lucky to be able to experience it.
And you're lucky to have the chance to even become your own best friend.
Being alone is a beautiful thing.
And I do want to do a whole episode just on being alone
because of how much I've learned to love it.
But just know that you deserve this and that you should look at this as a blessing
because you got you and you got you forever.
So love yourself and know that when the right person comes into your life,
it's not going to be difficult.
It's just going to feel right.
And it's just going to flow.
You got to stop playing games with these boys.
I know how they work,
especially if you're in high school and you're listening to this.
I know how it goes.
Stay away from the ones who play games and make things difficult.
No games need to be played when you find the right person.
I'm going to leave it at that.
And I'm going to tell you that you are freaking awesome
and you're beautiful and you deserve the world.
And I'm being cringy, but I love you.
You are going to focus on loving you this Valentine's Day.
And if you have a boyfriend and you're in a relationship
and you're listening to this, all the rules still apply.
Love yourself. Take care of yourself.
Allow yourself to make mistakes.
Feel your emotions.
Love the simple things and just enjoy.
Enjoy what life has to offer and start romanticizing your life.
Please start romanticizing your life.
Every little detail going to school, make it feel like a movie.
Pretend you're the main character.
All of this stuff sounds so cheesy.
But it's what's going to change your mental health.
It is seriously what is going to set everything apart
from what it's felt like for a while.
So I love you.

It's getting sunny outside.
I'm going to make some coffee that actually goes into a mug.
And I'm just going to try to have a good day
because I deserve that and you deserve that.
Happy Monday. Have a good week.
I love you.
