Ladies, This Is The Love You Need

Does Your Heart Ache to Find Your Person?
I get it, sweet love. I’ve been there.
In love with love itself — oh, what a feeling! The butterflies, the tingly sensation everywhere (and I mean everywhere).
It just feels so damn good.
And as you grow, you learn a thing or two about oxytocin and the sneaky little chemicals making you high. You realize that love — true, lasting love — needs more than just a flood of feel-good hormones.
And my wish for you? That your love lasts.
But sometimes, it doesn’t.
Because honestly, those hormones? They can lead you down the wrong path. Been there, done that — no desire to repeat that mistake again.
But let me tell you this — I’ve also had some truly beautiful romantic relationships. There are wonderful men out there.
If you have a good man in your life, cherish him. And please make sure he knows how deeply he’s cherished.
And yet…
And yet…
The love you really need, darling?
(No, I’m not going to say “self-love” — that’s a given, it must be #1.)
It’s the love of the women in your life.

Your girlfriends.
Your sister.
Your mom.
There is something extraordinary about the sisterhood.
Not in an I am woman, hear me roar kind of way (though, that’s cool too).
But in the kind of deep, unwavering compassion that only a woman can offer.
The support.
The listening.
The understanding.
The way women show up for one another.
No agenda. No ulterior motives. Just love.
There’s purity in the sisterhood.
And when we put down jealousy and competition, when we genuinely celebrate each other’s wins — magic happens.
The bravest, boldest, strongest, and wisest people I know? Women.
I know a few men too, of course! But in terms of numbers, it’s a landslide.
The love we cultivate with the women in our lives is different.
Whether it’s the women in your family or the girlfriends who become your family — honor them. Love them fiercely.
Because let me tell you this…
If I had placed all my importance on romantic love, the way I did in my twenties, my life would be a fraction of what it is now.
Instead, it’s overflowing with love. With support. With a sisterhood so strong, it feels like magic.
If you have this, nurture it. Never take it for granted.
If you don’t have it yet, build it.
Because the truth is, romantic love may come and go. But sisterhood?
Sisterhood lasts.
It isn’t just love — it’s the foundation that makes every other kind of love richer.
Happy Valentine’s, sweet darling.
