Baby it’s cold outside

I crave warmth and winter is everything but that. Instead, in winter we try to find ways to stay warm but all options do not last. Knits, beanies and gloves cannot be relied on but the one thing that seems to bring warmth regardless of the weather is a person’s other half.

That is all well and good if you happen to have another half, but for the rest of us, we are not as fortunate.

I cannot speak for all couples, because for one, I am not in a relationship and it would just be wrong for me to generalise but winter gives the impression of being such a romantic season. Cuddling, hand holding and just being able to be in close proximity of another person and to share body heat with said person, without being creepy of course, just looks so lovely and I can’t help but be jealous.

There is really nothing wrong with being single but winter seems to bring out the worst in me and all I can feel is resentment towards couples. I’m lonely and cold and I’m pretty sure I’m borderline sick and I know I should be blaming myself for putting myself in this position but it’s just too easy to load the blame on someone else.

Of all times of the year, I find winter the loneliest but maybe one day, if I’m lucky enough, that’ll all change.

The joys of being single. I hope everyone else is having a better time than I am in this cold weather!
