Having a glum Valentine's Day? Here are some mentally happy memes to make you feel loved!

It's not easy out there, that's why we are so pro-therapy! Your friends and family will always be there to have your back, but there is only so much they can do. It's difficult to be someone you love's therapist. That's not technically what you sign up for when you make these connections. But that is exactly what your therapist is signed up for with you, and they are there to help guide you during your inner healing journey. Because the point of therapy isn't to have someone tell you what to do, it is to help you figure out what you can do to help you. It's empowering and we love it!

So let's celebrate that love this Valentine's Day! Whether you have a romantic partner to celebrate this Hallmark holiday today or not, you will always have yourself, so let's appreciate YOU. Self-love is arguably the most important kind of love. If you can't love yourself, then who can you love? It's a game of balance, and we are all trying to find that perfect win. It's not as easy to get there, but laughter helps you along your path. So let's get to LOLing!

Have you LOLed yet! We hope so, because we love you. Yep, we don't even know who you are, but we love you. Just because you came here and found some things the tiniest bit funny, now we are in love. You are the love of our lives, actually! It's this kind of quick falling-in-love that has me landed in therapy…
But who cares about that? I love you and I'd like to share these memes with you! If I could pair them with a bouquet of flowers and give them to you in a heart-shaped box, I would. Until then, please enjoy the scrolling!

Anyways, we hope these memes said HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to you and made your heart warm with laughter. It's the little things that count. Sure, this holiday is overrated and tainted with consumerism, but we still love to celebrate love whenever we can. Why? Because the best way to express love is with laughter! And we dearly love to laugh.
