Today, I got a massage and took myself out for lunch. Tomorrow I'm taking myself on a little day trip to see a waterfall.

I had been thinking oh the leaves look so nice. It was so nice to do fun fall stuff with my ex even if he was an asshat the whole time. It was nice to have someone to do that stuff with. And I realized I can do fun fall stuff by myself and I am far better company than most men. I'm off tomorrow, why don't I do this for myself? So that's what I'm doing!

I'm thinking a short hike, picnic lunch by the falls, and I can take as many selfies with the leaves and water as I want because my ex won't be there rushing me. And I can listen to audiobooks the whole drive!!! Being alone is a gift I have given to myself and I am going to enjoy it for as long as it lasts.

Enjoy the gift of choosing to be single. You deserve it. All that love that you were giving to the wrong person can be channeled into yourself. I know I struggle to do this because our culture teaches us that we do not deserve anything let alone the love that men feel is reserved for them. If every woman treated herself as well as she is expected to treat a man imagine where the world would be. What are you doing to show yourself that you love yourself this week Queens?
