There's two reasons why February is my favorite month of the year.
One reason is because around this time, I get this unexplainable exciting feeling for the month of love.
I say this each and every year, but Valentine's Day isn't reserved just for couples. I've had plenty of years doing fun Galentine's Day shoots with my girlfriends, drinking wine, and hosting fun dinner parties with them.
Growing up, I used to hate Valentine's Day.
I would roll my eyes at couples and date night spots, and would have this bitter attitude towards people having a good time with their SO. Ironic how the month of love turned me into an opposite person.
Over the years, I've developed more of a self-love and self-worth perspective and have grown to love the holiday. Not because I don't care anymore about being single, but because I know my worth.
A holiday does not define you, nor should it make you feel like you're not worthy.

Reason two, is because it's my birthday month.
I remind my family every year that I celebrate the entire month because it's the shortest month and I have to make the most of it. 😂
This year, I'll be turning 25.
I have some thoughts on that coming in a birthday blog post soon...
