february is for break ups


Being a Georgia gal, I don't take kindly to cold weather. For the last six days, Shanghai has been drizzly, gray and miserable. Yesterday the weather was totally playing with my emotions. I woke up to sunny skies. The air was cool and crisp, whispering promises of better days to come but as soon as night hit, the weather reared it's true intentions - happy days were not to be here again.

The current, perpetually soggy state of Shanghai has totally driven home the fact that this Febuary has been a totally shit month - global layoffs, companies backrupting and an unsettling skyrocketing in break ups. Supposedly the month for love, Cupid's arrow seems to be a crusade to break hearts rather than make hearts. It feels like every other day a new couple is breaking up. If you're considering ending a relationship, now seems to be the time to do it. The world seems more full of single people than ever.

Misery has always loved company but it must be actively recruiting this month.
