Valentines Day for the newly (or not so newly) separated? Any ideas? Best ways to ignore the day?
So this is the second Valentines Day I've had to endure since deciding to separate a little over a year ago. What makes it awkward is that we live together for financial reasons. And co parenting... This past Hannukah/Christmas/New Years was one of the most difficult months I've ever endured. I kept hoping the earth would just swallow me and make me disappear.
Our first date was Valentine's Day, back when we were students in North Carolina. At a deli. Not very romantic, but the cheesecake was delicious. It was awkward as well. Perhaps a warning? Nah, I'd never change what happened. I'm so tired right now. So don't want to wake up into tomorrow. Blinders. That's what I need. That and no radio while driving. And no love songs at all. And no red. No hearts. Wait, I love hearts. That is my favorite shape.
What a pathetic ramble this is.
Maybe I'll find some forgotten chocolate somewhere to help me take my mind off things. Or maybe my heart forest will come to life and I can go for a walk. By myself.
