Don't know how I feel about this holiday
Valentines Day is a strange holiday for me and I don't really like it. Maybe because I'm not married and haven't had a girlfriend to celebrate it with in a long time. So it really just reminds me I'm lonely. That might be part of it, but mostly I don't think I like this holiday because in high school I had a girlfriend say she was leaving for my best friend on Valentines Day. That really put a damper on the holiday. Also, it may be because I know I will never have a family of my own. If things were different I think I would make an excellent husband and father, but it wouldn't be fair of me to have a family. I will never be able to support a family finacially or emotionally. It's wasn't fair what I did to my last girlfriend, which was 26 some years ago. I saw how hard it was on her when I got so sick with my mental health and never wanted to put anyone else through that again. And I especially can't do that to my children if I had any. My sister was diagnosed with ptsd from the horrors she saw me go through when she was so young. I refuse do that to anyone else. Being alone really upsets me, but I've excepted it at the same time. I've been told by multiple people to get into a relationship even if it doesn't lead to anything, but like I said, I'm a mess and it wouldn't be fair. Plus, I'm horrible with break ups and I don't want to go through that again. So now I'm stuck lonely for the rest of my life. I guess it's better this way.
