    I have a fairly basic job and it's always a struggle hearing all the girls chat about their hubbys/boyfs/fiances because I am the only singleton but it's nice to be distracted for a while. Dreading this long weekend ahead though to be honest!



    Don't fret about that, people always exaggerate their happiness in this era of public social media boasting.


    Value the time on your own and fill it with interests and you'll grow to love it. Helps with self esteem too, if you can truly enjoy your own company and have multiple interests you will radiate that interest and the added independent streak will put off emotional predators of the mould of your ex.


    You seem really nice and you don't deserve to feel like this. All I can promise you is that one day you won't.
