New Year's Resolution #2...

Truth be told, I am currently about 87% in love with three different people. None of whom are probably right for me and none of whom are a viable option regardless, due to: living far away; having a girlfriend; and showing a complete lack of interest in me, respectively. Yet, I continually find myself pining for these people and wondering 'what if?'. It is emotionally draining and frustrating. So, with this new year (and new decade, for that matter) I have decided it would probably be a good idea to stop wasting all my energy on these situations, and instead, attempt to figure out what it is that would actually make me happy. Ideally, this involves someone who: lives in the same state; is available (both physically and emotionally); recognizes my awesomeness and wants to be a part of it. Or, I could just shut down this entire operation and be content to be alone. Honestly, I don't really mind it. I've been flying solo for 2 years now, and I am significantly less stressed out and wealthier than when I was attached. Plus, when there is no sign of booty on the horizon, I don't have to shave my legs or wear cute underwear, or clean my apartment regularly. It's relaxing and somewhat liberating, really. The problem is, humans need physical contact to thrive--this is a scientific fact. So as much as I enjoy not having someone bugging me all the time about where I'm going or what's for dinner, it wouldn't suck to have someone who wants to hold my hand at the movies or snuggle on the sofa, or throw me onto the kitchen table. But, I digress... This year will be about determining what I want (in all aspects of my life) and actively seeking it. To quote Bridget Jones: "I will not continue to form romantic attachments to any of the following: alcoholics, workaholics, commitment phobics, peeping toms, megalomaniacs, emotional fuckwits or perverts"......starting February 1st, of course.
