Happiful February 2020

Heart to heart
As the incredible RuPaul often
says: “If you can’t love yourself,
how in the hell are you gonna love
somebody else?”
This issue really captures the spirit
of that sentiment. So often we can
look outwards at all the things we
want in life, and worry about how
we’re going to get there – whether
that’s with our relationships, careers,
personal lives, or goals. But so often,

society.
We never know what that focus
on ourselves can achieve. You

dreams take root.
Our February cover star Meghan
Trainor knows this all too well. After
fearing she'd never sing again
following two operations on her
vocal cords, and living with panic
attacks and anxiety, she's learnt

It’s about allowing yourself the time
and space to understand yourself,
your needs, and values – and to
cherish that person. It’s not always
a linear journey, and there’ll be
days when your confidence feels
rattled, but day by day, that inner
love can and will build.
Let’s vow to start
sowing the seeds
today.
