So this may appear rather self serving but today is National Self-Love Day.
The entire concept raises images of self indulgent sexual overtones and erotic auto stimulatory interludes here and there. Really, I do have better and more productive preoccupations with which to concern myself.
This day is observed each year on February 13 in the name of fostering self-compassion, care, and high regard for one's own well-being.
It is intentionally scheduled the day before Valentine's Day and serves as a reminder that self-love is foundational, encouraging individuals to practice self-care, set boundaries, and honor their own needs.
It is a day to remind yourself that you are worthy of love, specifically the love you give to yourself and the notion that you should stop putting yourself last.
Happy National Self-Love Day. Go ahead, give yourself a big hand.
