Can I get some love? It's been kind of a shitty fucked up week...
Right now I feel like this:


I can't put my finger on why, but it's been one of those weeks where nothing seems to go right. I probably made at least one new enemy, I can't find a job and I'm still single with the dreaded Valentine's Day rapidly approaching. :-(

5. Hang in thight.
I felt like this for quite some time. Oh, and don't forget that Valentine's day is just an invention of the flower and card companies.

No worries, even it doesn't feel like it. You'll walk your path, I'm sure. :hi:

14. I seem to go through phases like this.
Fairly regularly in fact. I should start marking them on the calendar. :evilfrown:

20. Nah, don't mark them, don't make them anything special.
We all go through these phases, some are harder, some are lighter because of a caring environment where we still could feel being somewhat secure. It's natural, and since we aren't dumb, we do feel it profoundly. It's not really a bad thing, even it seems a big challenge and a big down personally. And the feeling of loneliness doesn't make us alone. It took 30 years for me to understand, and you'll be way faster.

No worries, let it happen. Just don't mark it on the calendar. ;)

15. This time certainly isn't as bad as last time I was in this mood.
That time I hosted a rather supermassive pity party which went on for days.

17. Valentine's Day is a crock of shit anyway. A Hallmark Holiday from hell.
Would you even want to date a woman who wants something just because it's February 15th?

Please.

It was best celebrated in Chicago in my opinion.

Stephanie

Otherwise, I am sorry you had a shitty week.

21. I'm in Chicago...should that make me sad?
:hug:

On the other hand, I love how you missed the date of V-Day-from-Hell! :rofl: It's the fourteenth, dummy! :spank: :D

Would that I could forget it like that...

23. Oh crap!
it IS the stupid 14th.

I really, really despise that day with a white hot passion.

It used to kill me to see the unpopular kids in school get NOTHING while the little snotwads (who were my friends, god help me) get a bunch of crap.

I HATED it.

24. I never got a valentine.
Barring those times in elementary school when someone brought one for everyone in class, and mass valentines have never really meant anything to me.

Middle school sucked ass. Period.

In high school, both...entaglements I would seriously consider "relationships" were March through August affairs. I just found out one of them is now an open bisexual...interesting. :D

25. I did...I got them all the damned time...while I watched the "unpopular"
girls get nothing.

I despised the whole tradition; and now that I am old and crotchety...well...I just let it out!

26. As one of those unpopular girls who never got anything
I appreciate your empathy. School was absolute hell.

I've always hated Valentine's Day because I've never had anyone to spend it with. The few times I've been involved with someone on the day, they've either been long distance or unable to spend it with me for some reason. This year is...weird. Ended a long term relationship and am single for the first time in years.

The thing is I have really low self-esteem and have never really been appreciated by the few partners I've had. I know I'm too young for it, but I'm just feeling very bitter in general. Maybe I just need time to heal.

19. Hold tight ZN
V- Day is a stupid but effective marketing ploy to make people feel bad about themselves and that spending money make them feel better. Hang there job hunting sucks. Don't give up! :hug:

Hottie! Sorry if I may be saying, but you're... uh... hot! To the power of a hundred!

:hug: Sorry that you've been feeling bad.

Well... enemy doesn't know what he's missing from not hanging around you, the job you will find (With someone as smart as you, I'm surprised employers aren't throwing themselves at your feet) and for Valentines, you'll find someone soon...

36. do not fret.
Here's something I read on the cover of a cd once. It has stuck with me ever since, and it gets me through when times are tough. Are ya ready?




"We are loved beyond our ability to comprehend"




That includes you buddy (DUer with one of the all time best DU names). And don't ever forget it!

The job and the SO will come. Be patient. And believe.


:hug: from redwitch

They're pointless pieces of commercialised nonsense.

You're a fine and charming young man - so keep your chin up and tell the rest of the world to go and **** itself.
