Wow we’re already into the weekend?!? What?

So, it’s Friday! Hope all of you pups are having a great day! I am. I got paid today! Woot woot!

Tomorrow is valentine’s day. If you’re gonna celebrate with your special someone, enjoy!

If you’re like myself and a single little pringle, spend this weekend treating yourself!!! It’s a great time to practice some serious self care!

BUT, for now, I have a few things for you guys! Firstly, I want to share a poem that I wrote several years back, when I was in school.

It’s called: Bystander.

I am not to be misjudged. I want to be loved, but that fairy tale is so unlikely now.

I’m just another invisible, smiling face, just trying to hide it all. The pain, the tears, and the terror. My nightmares are painted the color of your eyes, your image drapes itself around my mind. The sound of your voice is echoing through my ears.

You would always tell me, I was going to regret leaving. you. But I don’t. Of course, there are days I look over my shoulder, expecting you to be there behind me. But you never are. I feel lucky I got away. The last time I saw you, I remember feeling so small. Afraid you would come for me, wrap your hands around my neck one last time.

I could have turned you in, should have turned you in. Every noise at night, I hope it isn’t you. I make sure every door is locked, always latch my windows. I remembered praying for death for so long, I didn’t know why….why you picked me. We had been friends, maybe that was why. You had gotten me to trust you, so I wouldn’t question you.

Years later, well…I’m still unsure where I am going; all because of you. If I go anywhere, I imagine you finding me and I disappear. I don’t want to be invisible again.

Alright alright alright!!! Hope y’all liked that! It’s a little darker piece, but hey that’s how I roll.

But anyways, as I said before, tomorrow is Valentine’s day. I happen to be an expert in being single on this day.

And I had a conversation with someone who like me, is single, and we came up with a list of things that are necessary for those of us who find ourselves single and (sadly) wanting, for things they can’t or don’t have.

Her and I felt it was important to instead of focusing on the negative side of being single, we should discuss the positive sides!!!!!! Because yes, there are many! And to use this weekend to exercise some self care!

If you happen to find yourselves alone at home this Valentine’s day; go out and get some ice cream, order a pizza, watch an ’80’s classic!, splurge on some expensive meal even! Buy the good wine!

Seriously, just do whatever makes you happy. It’s just a regular Saturday after all…be kind to yourself. You deserve love, so love yourself.

Alright I’m off to see me granny! Love you pups! Stay warm!
