Love, The Immigrant Way

“She crossed oceans not just for opportunity — but for the courage to love herself more.”

Valentine’s used to mean flowers, dinner plans, and romance.

But somewhere along my journey, it started to mean something deeper.

It meant loving myself enough to leave what was familiar.

Loving myself enough to start over in a new country.

Loving myself enough to believe I deserved more — even when it was terrifying.

Immigration teaches you a different kind of love.

The love that carries two homes in one heart.

The love that survives loneliness.

The love that rebuilds identity from scratch.

The love that keeps going — even when no one sees how hard it is.

This Valentine’s, I don’t just celebrate romantic love.

I celebrate courage.

I celebrate growth.

I celebrate the version of me who didn’t quit.

Because sometimes the greatest love story

is the one where you refuse to give up on yourself. ❤️
