Life, Love, and Loneliness

Life is such an odd thing. And I’m cheered up by such silly, worldly things. I mean, last night I was really depressed and on this awful slump because I was going to have to say farewell to my classful of kindergarten children this morning. I wanted to make them all little cards and then have nice cards and presents for the teachers I was working with. And it seemed like none of the people I loved and wanted to spend time with could go shopping with me for those things. So finally, I admit, as a last resort, I called my roommate of a month and met her out at the mall. Then I went crazy at Hobby Lobby, and bought 12 yards of tulle, and two random hysterical pictures to put up, one in my bathroom, and I haven’t figured out where the other one should go. I also got a Strawberry Shortcake candle. It smells nice. Anyways. I was cheered up lots and lots and lots. But then I came home and watched Elizabethtown. . .which in and of itself is actually a really good movie. But it made me feel so alone. . .I wanted someone to love. . .and be loved by. Basically, it rubbed in the fact that I’m single, with no man. Terrible. . .usually it doesn’t bother me to be single, but sometimes, it just feels so lonely.
