It's weird, but of all the holidays it's probably the worst one for being single to me for some reason... Especially if you aren't doing anything tonight. I have a party I'm invited to, I might go to alleviate this feeling lol... Anyone else agree or think other holidays are worse?
Go to the party! New Year's Eve with a significant other is a societal construct. It is truly no more significant than being dateless the other 364 days of the year.

Holidays are BETTER! More parties, more events, more to do!

Maybe you will find a good New Year's Eve Kiss candidate there, I say go!
You know, I posted a few weeks ago about going out on a date with a guy after he treated me like complete *****. I did it for a few reasons, but mostly because I was feeling lonely and felt the holidays made it harder. I don't regret reconnecting with that guy (we haven't contacted one another since and that's perfectly fine). If anything, I'm thankful we reconnected because it was an important lesson in self love. I love myself enough to recognize that I was treated in a way I should never have been treated, but I accepted it, forgave him, talked to him a little about it, and moved on. I'm thankful he was in my life when he was and I'm thankful he's gone.
I'm alone tonight. I was alone through most of the Christmas holiday. But I've found ways to enjoy it! I chose to be happily alone tonight versus having gone to a party where I knew I'd be uncomfortable. I also realized that the only reason I even considered going out for New Years is because I felt pathetic saying I wasn't going out (the perpetually single people know what I mean by this feeling). You know what? I decided I didn't want to go out just so I could say I did something when all I really wanted is to just stay home tonight and watch a movie. So when people have asked me what I'm doing tonight, I flat out told them I want to stay home and will do exactly that! A lot of other people have confessed they have nothing to do either.
Would it be nice to have someone to share tonight with? Sure, it would. But I'm also happy to spend the evening in my home, doing exactly as I please instead of going to a party with people I don't know or care about just to say I did something. I'll go out tomorrow instead, most likely by myself, but that'll be fun too. I posted a few days ago about dining alone and am now happy to do it. There's something liberating about being to do another thing alone. I get lonely days, but I'm pretty content with my life. It'd be nice to have someone to connect with and to share things with, but in the meantime I have myself and I'm happy with my own company.
Have a good night and find a way to enjoy it. Put on a happy song. Put on a happy movie. And don't worry what others are doing. My neighbors are having a party. That's fine. I'm glad I'm not attending it!
