This is probably the first Valentine's Day in many years that I haven't been sad because I'm single. I ate chocolate truffles I bought for myself and otherwise pretty much didn't even think about it.
Entirely coincidentally, I messaged a guy on Geek2Geek.
Enough people I don't like get in relationships that I can't see being single as a reflection of my worth by any scale I value.
It's just a thing.
I don't like being single. Even a spectacularly bad relationship was not enough to disabuse me of that desire. I wish I could be uncaring about it, since I've got plenty of other ways to beat myself up over my own perceived lack of worth.
It's just a thing.
Probably due to modern technology, I saw a lot fewer sappy Valentine's Day commercials and am therefore less pissed off than usual.
I wish you didn't have to face Valentine's Day so soon, Maria, but then I wish none of this had happened.
I didn't put together how precisely cruel the timing was right away, Maria. I'm extra sorry for that.
Allow me some superficial whining for a moment... Not only is today tainted but my birthday will never be the same. I'll always know the next day is when my husband died.
Yeah, Maria, I was just talking about that to the SO. That's just so hard.
That's what I put together earlier today. And it sucks.
Yeah, that occurred to me this afternoon, how awful the timing is for you Maria (not that there's ever a good time, but...)
hardly superficial Maria.
like -t, I was thinking the same thing about your birthday. forgetting about February 14th. I had forgotten what day it was until around noon.
