You don’t have to be in love, to feel love

I love romantic stories. 

But I don’t need a man to be happy. 

Love comes in all sorts of ways. Love is not always being in love, it’s a process everyday and being happy with the result. This year my heart wasn’t broken and I found ways that weren’t about men, to have my heart full of love.

I’m happy with myself. And that’s something I couldn’t say honestly prior to this year. 

Holding on to that feeling of happiness for the days where it disappears. Putting ‘happy’ in a box.
