I bumped into my colleague at the lift. He look tired and weary and upon query, he said he has relationship problem. He says he dreads weekend during moments like this. I come to conclude that weekends are only for couples. When you are single, you dread weekends. Simply because, you will be all ALONE. That is the reality of it. Weekends seemed to drag longer when you are alone and fly too fast when you get to spend it with the ones you love.
I guess when you are used to spend your time with the someone and suddenly the someone is no longer there, you will feel a sense of emptiness. You do not know what to do with the weekends or holidays that you have. Your work becomes your passion and before you know it, you are a workaholic.
When you get to spend your weekends with the ones you love, your working days become a dread. You look forward to Thursday, Friday and yea! is Friday night and that is the best night towards weekend. Saturday is a bliss, Sunday comes too fast and heck is Monday already! So it goes on and on. Then you start to ramble through the calender for holidays and plan the perfect holidays with your someone.
Well, to the singles, it can be tough sometimes, but with the time that you have, perhaps is time to do the things you always wanted - go to gym, help out in the orphanage homes, have a blast with your Xbox, learn up photoshop, take up physchology course, watch Astro 24 hours, blast your Harmon Kardon speakers.... and the list goes on and on. But yet again, nothing is more fulfilling than do this with the special someone.

I remember at one point of my life I too used to dread weekends.
And not a day goes by which I don't count my blessings that these "Chicanes of Loneliness" which were empty once, is now (most of the time) filled.
Just because you feel rather lonely, doesn't mean you are alone.
Look towards the others who may care or who would be in need of care.
Only when you shut yourself out of others do you truly become alone...
While to those who are still single or are single again; there are only 2 very useful pieces of advice (if I may):
1. Live through it: For nothing is permanent in this world, believe that even when you seem to be alone, nothing you do is without a consequence or repercussion to another person (whether directly or indirectly)...;
2. Live with it: For when things seem most bleak, trust that there is still much to be achieved. For nothing great has ever come out of nothingness & a peaceful mind is indeed a blessing in disguise.
Chin up. Greater days ahead! :)
Talking through experience. Yes, I know you have had that moments. Most of us have.
