Tainted Love

Say it with me: Lonely ain’t sexy.

Everyone who is happily in love has been where you are now. Even people who have bounced from one relationship to the next were unfulfilled at a certain point.

Remember that your friends’ happiness is always a sign of hope, something to celebrate, and not a reminder to pity yourself. 

If you have time to wallow in self-pity, you have too much damn time on your hands. If you need a good cry, have one! Puff your eyes all up, sing off-key, wallow around in that wah-wah feeling of “only my cat/mom/computer/ice cream will ever be there for me.” Then bring it on back to reality, build a bridge with those sturdy, mascara-covered tissues, and get over it.

What you are is bold, interesting, driven, and sexy. And lonely ain’t sexy.
