'Tis the Season

Merry Christmas, Singletons. I try not to care about being single during the holidays by pretending that Christmas is just another day. And it is, until I realize that all of the stores are closed (for Jesus' sake), so I can’t even shop my loneliness away. I stay home and try to read a book but can’t focus because I keep picturing everyone else who is celebrating and having a cozy time with their family while I sit here in solitude. Ugh. I once broke up with a boyfriend on Christmas Eve because I was a cruel, heartless wench. I miss that version of myself. Not giving a flying turd whether it’s a holiday, someone’s birthday, or if you might be ruining someone’s plans - just going straight for the throat and getting it over and done with because you’re not feeling right about it in your heart anymore. Way to go, old me. My New Year's resolution is to be more like the old me: decisive and absolute, even if a bit harsh. Cheers to singlehood and moving on with our lives!
