You know, I was going to write out a whole bitter litany yesterday about why this time of year is grating on the nerves. I decided to cancel the entry though, on the ground that I’ll just end up sounding like some bitter ass who just doesn’t have a significant other.
I suppose it’s too late for that now.
So, anyway, to those that have loved ones, Happy Valentine’s Day. No, seriously, I mean it.
To the rest of us fools, well, I guess the goal is to get by today without feeling like crap. It’s such a wonderful thing to be in love. No, I currently don’t have a girlfriend. I do have my share of crushes, but, like a fool, I’m just stuck hoping for cues that there may be hope for a connection. To be honest though, the hope is dying. So many times I’ve been banished to the abyss of the friend zone that, well…it’s almost not unexpected anymore.
I’ve read some blogs out there that claim that people who keep hope are fundamentally weak, thinking that pairing up with someone will somehow complete the person. There’s a hint of truth to it, however, interestingly enough, these same people already have loved-ones they can rely on. So, the slice of truth becomes slathered with a thick layer of hypocrisy. There’s nothing wrong with hoping for a girlfriend or boyfriend. It’s natural to want to have someone close that you can share life with. However, when that hoping leads to paralysis, then that’s where the problem lies. It’s generally an indicator of other issues, perhaps self-esteem related, right?
Again, I don’t have a girlfriend right now. It would be great if I had one. There’s so much of me that I want to share. Still, whatever happens, happens. So many times I’ve heard that if someone tries to force the hand of fate, they’ll just end up getting bitch slapped on a cosmic scale (well, not in those words…but I like my wording). So, I’ll just have to sit patiently and live my life as best I can, as I am now.
But still. Just once in a while, I have to ask. Is there anyone out there?
