Valentine’s Day was just like any other day. I could have cared less. However, as I recognized this, I couldn’t help but think ‘yikes, am I becoming one of those bitter old people?’ I don’t think so. However, I couldn’t help but feel this great sense of apathy.
Why do I feel so apathetic when just a week ago I would get so excited to see you? What changed? Have I self-sabotaged? Have I begun to overthink this? Or have I not thought about this enough?
If so, why? What am I running from? Maybe I do know.
It’s funny because they say everyone knows each others’ secrets here at Olin. Perhaps that is true but I don’t quite believe that. But here goes nothing. I can share a little piece of my secret before it gets told by the masses. Or maybe if you have known me long enough you have already seen this part of my secret that not even I have been brave enough to confront. Anyways, now you know. Now I can say I have written my first Frankly Speaking article. Yay me! Perhaps I will write more. I must say this has been a lot of fun. Who knew I had so many thoughts and emotions behind this topic. Well, now you know.
PS: To you-who-shall-not-be-named it’s not you it’s me. Lol. Yup, that’s the thought. Thanks, y’all. It’s been real.
