Valentine’s Day for the Lonely Hearts: A Story of Empowerment and Self-Love

Hey everybody, how’s everyone doing? I’m back with another post, and today it’s for the lonely hearts out there on Valentine’s Day.

Every year, social media tends to make women feel bad for not having a man, and men feel bad for not having a woman. There’s so much back-and-forth between the sexes, but nobody really talks about how to embrace being happy on your own. Do you think Valentine’s Day is overrated? Or do you still enjoy the idea of celebrating love, even if you’re single.

I get it—Valentine’s Day can sometimes be tough when you’re by yourself, but here’s the thing: simply being alive and making it to see another year is something to celebrate. Love is beautiful if you find it, but honestly, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. So, let’s talk about something empowering this Valentine’s Day and give you a little secret story of mine.

A Secret That Will Make You Smile This Valentine’s Day

A long time ago, I was with a guy who used to cheat on me all the time. And when I say cheat, I mean bad cheat—like borderline STD kind of cheating. Somehow, I made it out of that situation disease-free, but it was not easy. And today, I’m going to share something with you something that I’ve never told anyone before, but it’s time to open up. Have you ever been in a relationship where trust was broken? How did you handle it? Did you forgive or move on?”

So, here’s the thing—I decided to cheat back. I felt guilty at first and was scared of being found out, but after all the cheating I’d endured, I figured why not? I wanted to test the waters and get back at him. My best guy friend was the only person who knew about it, but I knew he wouldn’t tell anyone. And let me tell you, as a female, it’s always good to have a trusted friend who can keep a secret. Guys talk too, but most of the time, their friends aren’t my type, so I felt pretty safe. What’s the best advice you’d give to someone navigating a breakup or toxic relationship? I Bet it wouldn’t be cheap back. 

How I Met Him: A Random Encounter That Changed Everything

I met this guy at the plasma center, and I know what you’re thinking, “What in the world, Mo? Plasma center?” Yeah, I know it sounds wild, but trust me, this is where I met Darnell. He was tall, light-skinned, with green eyes and dreads. Every time I went to donate, he’d ask if he could poke my arm. I remember how fine he was. And you’re probably wondering, why didn’t I just leave the cheater and get with Darnell?

Well, Darnell had a bunch of kids and baby mamas, so I wasn’t trying to get involved there. But hey, he did look like a good time, so I figured, why not test the energy between us? The hardest part about healing from a toxic relationship is realizing you deserve better. But once you do, the world opens up in ways you never imagined.

The Night We Spent Together: A Romantic Twist You Didn’t Expect

That night, Darnell took me to a beautiful lake with a swing. He pushed me on the swing while telling me about his plans to buy a house. It was cute, and honestly, I thought he was a sweet guy. But I knew better. He had way too many kids and wasn’t someone I could see myself with long-term.

We had fun, but I almost messed it up once when I accidentally texted him while trying to message my boyfriend. Darnell knew what was up, and at first, I almost cared, but then I realized I didn’t want anything serious with him. The whole point was to get back at my cheating boyfriend, and that’s exactly what I was doing.I used to feel like I needed to be in a relationship to feel whole on Valentine’s Day, but then I realized that the love I needed most was the love I could give myself. I started treating myself to flowers, a nice meal, and some good self-care—and honestly, I’ve never felt better.

A Night to Remember: The Real Story Behind the Romance

The day it actually happened, I was so nervous. I had never done anything like that before, and honestly, I didn’t see myself going back to him after. But I told myself if I went through with it, me and my boyfriend would never get back together. I took care of everything—smelled good, looked good—and hopped into my Toyota to meet him.

He was living in a small, tight duplex in a rough neighborhood. He didn’t have much, but honestly, I didn’t care about that. I knew exactly why I was there, and it wasn’t for a relationship. When I hugged him, he smelled so good. He even took the time to get his dreads twisted. And when he looked at me, I swear, it felt like he was going to burn a hole through my chest with his stare.Let me tell you, trying to juggle all the drama between my ex and Darnell was like starring in my own personal soap opera. Drama, tears, and endless plot twists!

But what I liked about him was that, even though we both knew the deal, he didn’t rush things. He gave me romance. He kissed my feet, rubbed them, whispered sweet things in my ear, and I was about to fall asleep.

We didn’t rush, and the night went on until he fell asleep. I grabbed my stuff and snuck out early, blocking him on all social media afterward. I didn’t do it because the night was bad—no, it was actually too good. But I wasn’t trying to be baby mama number nine, so I made sure to end things before they even started. Thought Darnell was the answer to my problems, but turns out he was just another guy with too many kids and too many baby mamas! At least he could kiss my feet like a pro.

Happy Valentine’s Day: Self-Love Above All

So, that’s it for today’s post. In case I don’t get to tell you guys later, Happy Valentine’s Day! Valentine’s Day isn’t about finding love; it’s about embracing the love that’s already within you. The more we learn to love ourselves, the more we attract the right people into our lives. Remember, being by yourself on this day isn’t a bad thing. Sometimes, the best relationship you can have is the one with yourself. Here’s a quote I love: ‘You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first.’ This reminds me to always put my own happiness first, no matter what day it is. Love y’all, and see you soon. Got your own Valentine’s Day story or piece of advice?

Until next time,

Cardi B Moves On, and Offset Is Big Mad But Why?

Hey everyone, I hope you’re doing well! I’m feeling a little under the weather today, but as I was scrolling through social media, I couldn’t help but notice the drama between Cardi B and Offset. Their relationship has been a rollercoaster cheating scandals, breakups, and now, Cardi is rumored to be moving on with Stefon Diggs . But here’s the real question: Why is everyone mad at Cardi instead of Offset? Let’s talk about it. Offset’s History of Cheating & Cardi’s Loyalty Let’s keep it real: Offset has been playing in Cardi’s face for years. ✔ He cheated multiple times , and she still took him back. ✔ She helped him get out of a bad music deal and supported his career. ✔ Every time he embarrassed her publicly, she stood by him. ✔ She even defended him when people dragged him online. Through it all, she stayed loyal, but loyalty doesn’t mean accepting disrespect forever. At some point, a woman has to choose herself .
