single awareness day

this may surprise some of you, as i have yet to discuss this freely, but today i am celebrating single awareness day (SAD).

i suppose i could be not single and celebrating this holiday. i have perhaps been doing just that for the past five years. this year, though, i am single on SAD.

it's a complicated and lengthy story, one many probably want to know, but i shall reserve the details of my recent breakup for a less public setting.

here is the funny thing about relationships in light of this valentine's day business. i have never received flowers on this particular day of the year. and i have never wanted to. but this year, the absence of flowers serves as a constant reminder that there is no one to NOT receive flowers from.
