Birthday loving

Every Once in a While

I go out on my own all the time. And 99.9% of the time it's all ok. 


That .01% gets me. I sit at a table of couples and watch their dynamics. Their connections. The support. The love. The friendship.


I have none of that.


And every once in a while it hits me. And it sucks. 


Tonight I had to leave. It was starting to seep in, wrangle inside and start to pull me down.


Yes. I had to leave. 


It leaves me feeling so incredibly empty (void of love) and alone. Overwhelming alone.


Tonight I cranked the music - which btw is the best escape of life, jumped into the hot tub (after I turned off all the lights in the house) and soaked up the stars.


We live in the most amazing place - I can see hundreds of thousands of stars. Crazy. And I always have to remind myself of the bigger picture and keep things in perspective.


But sometimes, like tonight, it's hard.


Fucking hard.
