I spent a large part of my vacation watching great tv like marathons of Biggest Loser, Swingtown, and Real Housewives of NYC.  Every other commercial was a Match.com or EHarmony that has a free weekend of meeting people. 

Luckily on my New Years I had a faux date, and I had someone to kiss at midnight.  I think most people feel lonely during the holidays….not having someone to take home to the parents or exchange gifts with like all your other siblings. 

I never really felt lonely until the other night when my roommate was staying at her fiance’s house, and everyone that I normally hang out with was busy on dates or hanging out with their significant others.  I sat in my living area and read the Economist and truly felt lonely and scared.  It’s weird how I think if my roommate was home or I at least had an offer to go out somewhere, I don’t think I would have felt lonely that night. 

Now I’m off to dinner with my friend, and feel much better about myself.  If anything this has taught me, it is not to feel pity for one’s self.  Nothing wrong with feel lonely once in awhile, but know that their are great friends out there to keep you company.
