I always loved the fact that Charlie Brown had a briefcase for all the Valentines he expected, and then got NONE! I don't know why, but that reminds people that are sometimes so full of themselves expecting the world to revolve around them and then realize they aren't crap!

But in a perfect case of irony I have a psychiatric evaluation with my pdoc on Valentine's Day this year. And its amazing how far I have come, because Valentine's Day used to be a real source of depression for me, and now, its empowering for me, because even though I have love in my life, I will be by myself after my appointment, and I plan on having dinner all by lonesome.

But, I plan on going all out, getting all dressed up, enjoying some wine and a good meal. People will probably stare, but all they will see is a person who has grown confident to not only dine alone, but even on Valentine's Day!
