Go on a terrible date that convinces you that you’ll be alone forever
Go on a series of promising dates and tell your friends this “might be it”
Let the holidays serve as a reminder of the last time you had someone to spend them with
Spend the night drinking and dancing and kissing; walk home at 6 AM and feel content to be alone with the sunrise
Listen to love songs that remind you of no one; feel indifferent about feeling indifferent
Listen to songs that remind you of the past and cry in the fetal position
Be enough for yourself
Do the things your past relationships discouraged; be the person your past relationships suppressed
Feel woefully behind and kind of nervous every time a friend gets engaged
Forget how hard it is to watch your relationship dissolve when doling out advice
Get defensive when your relationship non-status becomes a topic of conversation at Thanksgiving
Sleep diagonal because you can
Feel high after a successful first date
Wonder if you can fall in love with someone despite the absence of an initial spark
Make out with someone for no reason other than you’re both single and attractive
Date people who are completely wrong for you because you clearly don’t know who’s right for you
Get drunk and mentally forgive people your sober mind can’t absolve
Discover one day that you’ve stopped looking and started living; let that make you smile.
Chris asked this other day with a questioning tone, "You follow a lot of people on Twitter hor? Why?"
I replied, "I follow essential reads..like NYTimes, PR daily..stuff that are useful for my studies and career. "
And of the 96 Twitter accounts that I followed, ThoughtCatalog is an amazing one. Got the above article from them and while some are irrelevant to me, those that are, I had it bold. I tweeted about this and was glad Baba and Erna liked it. I decided to share it here because I want to remember this very checklist.
It's funny how, with some thoughts that you bear, you would think you are the only weird person feeling this way...only to find an article describing it to a T, letting you know that you are not alone.
So anyways, social media is a good platform for learning - as long as you are following the right person, just like life. -winks-
