You Don't Even Know...

Valentine's Day

Ahh...the day of love, non-love (maybe), and marketing schemes!

Gotta admit, it's a shame how on this day we are "supposed to" show a great amount of love to whomever. Honestly, that's something we could do every day- and for cheap! Heck, I've beaten others' gifts of candy with just a (approximately) 15-line poem!

But Valentine's for me, isn't really....well, I love the candy (Sweethearts for life)! However, I don't have too much good for it.

As you all know, I'm single and really not ready to mingle again for a while. Which it sucks, because I have all these friends who are like "Oh I got plans" or "OMG my boyfriend-...."

And I'm just like:

"*inhales* K....Hope it goes well!"

Or sometimes, I gotta give advice to help those in need and either:

1. They don't take me seriously because I'm single. Or-

2. They love my idea and wonder why I'm single. "'Cause I wanna be, thanks for reminding me of my sacrifices on this lovely day! 😐"

😂😂😂

Secondly, my best friend from high school passed away on this very night, two years from back respective to when this was written. I'm not gonna go into too much detail, but let's just say...I'll say this much, because I need to vent these small thoughts in physical form:

Something happened and he got hurt pretty badly. What's really odd is, not the event, no....well, yeah the event itself was weird....

But what I found strange was that, he lived somewhere more closer to the suburbs/outskirts of the city. When he died, he was found literally about two blocks away from my house!

Get this- I live in the city, about 30 minutes from where he was from!

I think the person he was with lives around here too, that's probably why...but when I got the full details, it was weird....

At the time of day (or night rather) it happened, I literally woke up 32 minutes after it happened...

It really bothers me how local he was when this happened...

And then on Valentine's Day. That is not the day to be at the hospital for, I'll tell you that much! And the irony is, he always wanted to know where I lived...and we had tried scheduling to hang out that weekend, but his family had plans that interfered with our available time....and so his path lead elsewhere...

To think, there's the theory that stands that whatever doesn't happen in our dimension, another dimension is created in which an alternate outcome happens...I wonder what it'd be like then.

Nevertheless, being single and my friend's death made me realize something: To value everything I have, because I'll never know for sure when it will end. And that goes for every day, not just Valentine's Day! Valentine's Day just helps remind me of my motives in life....

Happy Valentine's Day guys/gals! I appreciate you all to an extent that you couldn't imagine! Take care of yourself.
