Summary

Miss Kathleen would like to wish you all a very happy Valentine’s Day!

She’s found herself to be a picky dater because of the examples of love that she’s seen in her life, and knowing that, she’s willing to wait for something better to come her way.

In this episode, Miss Kathleen will talk about her inspiration behind love, starting from the very beginning with her parents, and seeing the pain and devastation that her mother went through after her father’s unexpected passing. This taught her that regardless of what happens on Valentine’s Day or any day that we’re celebrating love, we can embrace the love within ourselves and within each other.

Learning to lean on your self-love and wait to be loved in return. Knowing that you are loved already and the love you desire will come to you in it’s on time and in it’s on the way. We all have to be emotionally responsible for ourselves and our relationships. We’re not always going to find someone who makes our life easier by filling out a bio all about themselves online, and we’re not going to find someone who will support us when we needed it the most. At the end of the day we have to be the ones who are going to work for love and care for one another. My mom’s greatest love was with a man that she never thought she would love, and in him, she found the one—it may not have been for forever, but the love was potent enough, because it was so unconditional, that it lasted well beyond the short time they had and I believe that their love story is a truly beautiful one because it is a story of acceptance and freedom in valuing yourself before you give value to the other person, and I think that their relationship is something that we can all learn from.

25 years later, I’m still figuring out what that version of love is for me. But I haven’t given up yet, and I’m more than willing to swim with the fishes until I find the one that I’m ready to cast my bait for.
