We are sure entitled to happiness but there is more to happiness than having a man, especially wrong man.

You could call homeless shelter (or log in to a system if there is one in your area, we have a system where you can sign up for volunteering at shelters of your choice, well I don’t live in the area with shelters but system covers all inner city shelters that are in a drivable distance), I bet they need someone to serve meal or clean up the kitchen today, especially if it’s a holiday.

You’d feel greatly appreciated and it will be better time spent than crying. I used to do it many holidays. Puts your life into huge perspective plus you can’t be crying serving meals in soup kitchen or washing dishes (although I was often teared up because of gratitude people in shelters expressed to those who come there on their free time to help out).
Thanks, Divine.

I just need to grieve I think. I am still grieving. I am over my crying spell. I have to work all day til 6 PM so I cannot volunteer anywhere, though it's a good idea. I am going out tonight to be around friends so that should be fun at least.

I AM happy that I am no longer supporting my fiance (ex) financially. It's a HUGE burden off.

And you're right - there's much to be happy and thankful about. I have two jobs now, income coming in, I got a fat raise with the new job.. I have a roof over my head, warmth during the winter, food, good friends & support from my family. I need to remember all these things. I know I am blessed in many ways....

Guess I just needed to cry and grieve. I need to just get through this day somehow and not think about the lack of love in my life.
