I’m excited for Valentine’s Day this week. Historically I have hated all holidays, associating them with bad experiences. Through my recovery and sobriety, I’m allowing myself to be open to new ways of looking at things. I’m learning to let go of the negative associations, starting with a clean slate, finding happiness, and creating positive associations.
I don’t have to suffer through holidays anymore. I get to enjoy them. This year for Valentine’s Day, I’ve decided I’m going to give out candy and cards like I used to in elementary school. Then I’m going to be the best and happiest greeter at the alumni meeting. I’m going to wear fucking pink and be so annoyingly happy that everyone wants to hate me. Because I don’t have to be, I get to be!
