February 14th.. The day couples enjoy, and singles dread. Where some enjoyed flowers, candy and romantic dinners – while others (myself included) poked holes in the plastic covering our “Lean Cuisine 3 Cheese Casserole” and wondered if our microwaves really had cooking settings other than “high”..
Thats right!! Valentines day!!
But, here is a little secret – this year I spent it in the company of someone who is awesome! Someone who I wake up with every morning and whom I fall asleep with every night.
This person has been with me through rough times and good. Sure, we have had our disagreements (like, when one of us thinks its a good idea to stop drinking, and the other says “one more Fireball shot wont be so bad”) but they are always there with me…
That person is – me (bet ya didn’t see that coming)
I cant tell you how many times I have heard people say things like “I just want someone to love me” or “why cant I find love” – when that person is LITERALLY sitting right there!! Need someone to love you? — LOVE YOURSELF!!! Can’t find love? — LOVE YOURSELF!! I realized something other day, no one else has to love me!!! There isn’t a law stating “everyone shall find love” because that would be insane!!!
Getting through the DMV is rough enough, could you imagine the DTL (Department of True Love)??
Guy:
Yes, I started dating this girl and she sent me a txt stating that she thought we aren’t progressing in our relationship
DTL Agent:
Have you filled out Form TLFB-1247
Guy:
TLFB-1247?
DTL Agent:
Yes the Facebook status to “In A Relationship” permit..
Guy:
No..
DTL Agent:
Ok, fill out this form and you will be allowed to change your Facebook relationship status on a trial basis – that will be 30 dollars cash or check…
*** The 30 dollar reference is directed to North Carolina (start taking debit or credit damnit!!!!)
But I digress..
In all reality, you come into this world with the same person you are going to leave it with – YOU!
I hope everyone finds someone, I really really do!! Who knows, I may never find that person, I may bump into them at the DMV, I could have already met them and we just don’t know we dig each other yet!! Who knows! Its all part of the fun!!! Tomorrow, I may get a flat tire, kicking off a chain of events that put me and the next great love of my life standing in line at a Starbucks while waiting for a tow truck (AAA Roadside Assistance).. Or I may meet that person 50 years from now in a nursing home watching Wheel of Fortune…
Until then, I am just going to love me. Because if you can’t love yourself – how can you expect anyone else to???
Love you all 😉
