He dragged himself out of bed and shut off the alarm. As he came to his senses, he remembered what day it was and a sense of dread came across him. There was no escape.
The hypocrisy of it all. The snide superiority from everyone combined with that condescending faux sympathy. He just wanted to smash their smug faces in. But of course, he didn't and just shrugged, while seething inside. Maybe Al Capone had had the right idea!
The worst of it was how everyone expected him to be happy. "It takes fewer muscles to smile than it does to frown!" Well, what if I want to give my face a workout, huh? Ever thought of that, wiseass? It wasn't as if there was anywhere to escape to - shops, bars, even bloody television just had to go on about it. Even going for a walk would be unpleasant, as if even the weather was conspiring to make him miserable. It was like the world had been taken over by some mind controlling parasite and he was the only one immune.
{Apologies...} OK, I guess this sounds INCREDIBLY bitter from somebody who will (baring a miracle!) spend another Valentine's Day single, but I really DON'T resent anyone else's happiness. It's more the way everything seems to say, "If you're single today, you're a complete LOSER!" - which may be true, but I don't want to hear it. But if you do have somebody, I hope you have a great day... I just would prefer not to hear about it!

Happy singles awareness day. I happen to have something I want to share to all those of mine who are single and looking for someone special. Just go and talk to people. If you don't do that you will fail but talking to people and not getting what you think you want doesn't mean you're failing. Failing in this regard is not taking the chance. Just because the person you talk to isn't interested in the same thing you are doesn't mean you failed. They just lost the chance to get to know you better and have a good time with you. Sometimes you just need to get out there and talk to people.
"So go out there and seize the day....or not. The choice is yours."
