I'm drinking watery hot chocolate at my desk. So watery, in fact, that it's really just chocolate-coloured hot water. Usually, I avoid the free coffee/hot chocolate that they offer in the break room --- not because I'm a hoity spendthrift who'd rather pick up a cup of coffee from Starbucks or Timmy's

Don't you think that a lot of those people that wrote "Screw Valentine's Day. Why feel bad? Embrace being single", are just kind of saying it to convince themselves that things aren't as bad as they seem? It's like the people who don't make it on American Idol. One minute if they don't get on the show, life in this galaxy will cease to exist, but then they're rejected, and it's no big deal, who cares, I'm better off without them. People always try and convince themselves that they're okay NOT having something good, but the reality is, they'd much rather have that "thing" a lot more than they care to admit. I guess it's all part of saving some of your dignity or something, but in the end, I agree with you, in that, sometimes it's just okay to feel bad about what you don't have...

But it makes me think about how sometimes, in that 3 o'clock-in-the-morning-of-the-soul moment, you just need to embrace every shitty feeling you have...because then you wake up the next day, realize in a corny Celine Dion-way that it's "a new day" and that it wasn't the end of the world like you thought.

The problem with this is most people are still sleeping at that time of hour. Okay, aside of being literal, the thing is how often it is that we wake up in the morning feeling down, burdened by the past instead of embracing of "hey, it's a new day and boundless opportunities are there for me!" kind of attitude?

Sure, it's good to know what's the right thing to do. To exactly do it may be another story altogether, though.
