💘 Valentine’s Day Advice Nobody Asked For (But You’re Getting Anyway) Love, Memaw 💘

Memaw says, “if love is confusing, it’s not love. It’s a group project you didn’t sign up for.” 💘

👵 Listen up, sugar.

Valentine’s Day ain’t about roses, diamonds, or whether someone remembered to spell your name right on a card. It’s about one simple thing:

💅 Did they treat you right on February 13th?

💅 And, will they still treat you right on February 15th?

Because anybody can panic-buy chocolate. Character takes consistency.

Now if you’re coupled up:
If they only sparkle when Hallmark says so, that’s not a soulmate. That’s holiday lighting with a timer.

If you’re single:
Congratulations. You are not arguing over dinner reservations tonight. That is freedom, darling. Use it wisely. Order what you want. Wear what you want. Eat the chocolate you bought yourself without sharing.

If you’re in a “situationship”:
Baby. If it doesn’t have a label, it doesn’t get a gift.

Memaw also wants you to remember:
• Love is sweet, love is kind, but self-respect is sweeter.
• If they stress you more than they bless you, that’s not Cupid. That’s a warning label.
• You do not need a Valentine to validate you. You need good boundaries and a decent skincare routine.

Whether you’re married, dating, divorced, widowed, talking, ghosted, or just minding your business with snacks and a streaming subscription, you deserve joy that doesn’t require guessing games.

🗓️ So today:
Text the friend.
Call your mama.
Compliment yourself.
Buy the good dessert.
Forgive who you need to.
And, if someone hands you nonsense wrapped in red ribbon, hand it right back.

💘 Memaw loves love.

💖 But, Memaw loves standards more.

Happy Valentine’s Day, sugar. 💋
