4 months and 17 days later

Well, this evening I am going out with my good friend from college. Let me just tell you how excited I am! We haven't been out since November 18 and I feel as if that event was an unmitigated disaster. Not because of any another reason except for the fact that I was going through withdrawal and I was miserable and in so much pain. We were at a bar with a great band and having a great time but they were a lot of seemingly happy couples all around us. I couldn't help but think of my qualifier and start missing him a great deal. I was in so much pain that I ended up cutting the night short and going home early.
I am happy to report that almost 5 months later, there will be no repeat of the last time we were out. I am feeling happy and content tonight with being single and loving myself. And in an ironic twist of fate, we are going to the same bar and the same band is playing as it was in November. Here's to having great times with great friends! 😊
