Be Your Own Champion

Let me open up for a moment...

There's a man roughened by life, unbreakable,

And brimming with untold stories.

At 40, he cherishes his own company,

Not because he's isolated,

But because he's discovered the richness within himself.

He doesn't wait for someone else

To make his days meaningful

He crafts his own happiness.

Some might wonder, "Oh, poor guy, no partner to share Valentine's Day?"

But they miss the essence of his journey.

When you truly embrace who you are,

You realise you don't need anyone else to validate your worth.

Today, let's make this Valentine's Day about us.

Take yourself on an adventure,

Dive into what ignites your spirit,

And own your individuality

Just like Forrest Gump running across the country

Simply because he felt like it.

Stand before the mirror and declare with conviction

"You are the Best."

"You are the Enough."

"You deserve Better."

"I love you."

To all the people out there who walk their own path,

Know this you are not defined by societal expectations.

We're part of a tribe that understands

The power of self-love

And the freedom it brings.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass,

It's about learning to dance in the rain.

So, grab those dancing shoes.

Write that novel you've been mulling over.

Climb that mountain that's been calling your name.

Be the architect of your own joy.

Because when you celebrate yourself,

Every day is filled with possibilities.

Here's to us,

The men who know

That the best company we can keep is our own.

Make this day

And every day

Extraordinary.
