I can't afford to propose to my girlfriend, so today's day 45 of good dashing for a $6,500 diamond ring. But why did I hate Valentine's Day? I was single for twenty five Valentine's Days. I've dated in the past, but I've spent every Valentine's alone. And I distract myself from that fact with food, friends, or school. And I'd even tell myself, hey. At least my birthday is the next day. But Valentine's was always a painful reminder that maybe I'd never be loved by somebody else. On Valentine's Day twenty nineteen, I left the library late studying and was waiting at a dimly lit bus stop to go home. And across the street, there was another couple at the bus stop going the other way. They were holding hands and huddling next to each other to keep warm. Their bus came worst, and then I was alone. And honestly, with nothing left but better, my Valentine's plans were to be in bed by 9PM with a blanket over my head, crying as I looked through everyone's Valentine's Day tier rank feeling like something was just wrong. I thought love was just a bus that I missed. It sucks hearing generic things like, it'll happen when you least expect it. I hated hearing that. But being single for twenty five years taught me patience, and that patience made me a better partner when I finally found her. So to the cold better me in 2019 waiting at the bus stop, you didn't miss the bus. It just hasn't arrived yet, and she was worth the wait. Forty five days in, dollars 2,021 and 13¢ out of 6,500. Follow to see how long it takes.
