21 Valentine's Day Quotes To Remind You To Love Yourself
“Baby, how you feelin'? Feeling good as hell.”
Sometimes the sea of hearts, dozens of roses, red balloons, and timeline full of candlelit dinners of Valentine’s Day can feel a tad suffocating, especially if you’re spending the day single. There’s a lot of pressure to be cuffed come February 14, and if you’re the only single person among your friends, it can feel like a major bummer. In reality though, Valentine’s Day isn’t just about couples — it’s about love, in general, and that includes loving yourself. Sure, the big lover’s holiday is filled to the brim with romantic cards and quotes about relationships, but there are plenty of self-love quotes for Valentine’s Day to keep in mind, too.
Of course, there are so many fun ways to spend Valentine’s Day when you're single, such as a night spent with your friends, some wine, and a cheesy romcom (lonely hearts club, anybody?) or going to a love-themed dance party. Offshoots of the holiday, including Galentine’s Day, are great ways to celebrate all the love in your life. Romantic love is great, but it’s by no means the only source of love out there.
Valentine's Day isn’t just about receiving a bouquet of roses from someone else. It’s simply about love, which very much includes self-love. In case you need a reminder to love yourself, Valentine's Day quotes all about appreciating who you are and treating yourself as a priority are a must.
