I think I'm cupid's lab rat (that makes no sense)

So, yeah, another SAD approaches. (Singles Awareness Day, thanks jadesolitude, couldn't have labelled it more accurately.) Valentine's Day sucks majorly if you're single. I hate it when everyone around you is paired off in happy little couples. It just makes me miserable

aww heather, don't worry about not having a b/f for valentine's day! everyone's constantly looking for their "one and only", and finding them often takes a lotta time.

and on this: "I have my own talents and stuff. But for some reason I can't focus on them. All I can see is the flaws that I have that everyone around me doesn't have."
Girl, everybody thinks like that. We all constantly compare ourselves to someone who always seems to be better than us at something. Someone always seems more talented, smarter, prettier, or w/e. I have tons of genius friends too, and i sometimes feel kinda dumb when i compare myself to them. But we just have to learn to live with our faults and lacks and maybe even turn them into strengths through hard work. Self-improvement and growth are important, but bashing ourselves isn't a healthy motivation to do it. Remember that self-improvement is only for yourself and not to try to be as "good" as others. We all struggle with this, it's not just you, so don't worry about it so much. Everyone has faults, even those who you may think are perfect. Just try to focus on the good things you do have, as opposed to what you don't have, or what you don't think you have enough of.

Wow, that was long-winded. >_>
