Valentinr and why I'm not participating this year.

[apocalypticbob]

I've done the Valentinr things for a few years now, but I'm not participating this year. I really don't think I could handle opening it up on Valentine's Day and reading a handful of anonymous notes from people telling me they like me. I'm pretty sure that would break me this year. Valentine's Day is going to be tough enough this year...it's always a pretty shitty day for me, with few exceptions, and this year I'm going to be at a wedding. Now, I'm excited to go to that wedding, so incredibly excited, and I won't be weeping in the corner at it or anything, except tears of joy for the lovely bride, but it is still going to be a bold underscore of all the things I don't have and may never have.

I will put up a post on Valentine's Day, if you'd like to leave non-anonymous, screened love notes, but I truly can't handle any secret admirers right now. I would lose my cool.

I'm not signing any of the Valentinr things this year, either, but if you also put up a post on Valentine's Day where people may leave screened, non-anonymous love notes, I'll be glad to tell you why I am happy you are in my life. I think valentines_09 is an incredibly neat community, too, but if you choose to utilize it, please don't leave me anonymous notes...it will only make me tear my hair out in frustration.

Love you all.

Even though I'm in a completely different circumstance, I'm not going to do the Valentinr thing either. I also don't like anonymous admiration; dammit, if you like me or love me, come on out and SAY so. Communication seems the be the major snafu of the moment, day, week, month...

I have every belief that you will find the happiness that you so deserve, my dear. Perhaps I'm a silly optimist but I HAVE to believe that.

Look at me, I waited until 48 to find true love, even if it occasionally has a few pebbles in the path.

I DO love you and admire you and think you're a completely nifty person. And that's about all I can really say at the moment.
