When I feel lost, confused, anxious, whatever I like to listen to Ted Talks. Before I went on my last first date I listened to three because I apparently forgot how to have a conversation. Someone way more intelligent than this girl surely has broken down the science behind these feelings. I've listened to talks on vulnerability, on communication, on how toxic relationships are like addictions, and a few more. (Honestly if you're single give this one a listen.) But I haven't found any on the joys of modern day dating. So here's my take.
My Ted Talk

I haven't decided how I feel yet. I can tell you it's not sad because I'm old. As my mom would ask, "are you having a hard time with it?" Nope, that's not it. Maybe I'm PMSing. Maybe I'm exhausted from my plate being full, metal, and put in the microwave to then catch on fire. Maybe I haven't eaten anything green and leafy in a week and I'm crashing from a sugar high. There are a lot of maybes.

Two suicides in one week. Two famous suicides atleast. Because on average there are 121 a day. Did you know suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in America? Ahead of homocide at 16. We’ve been real vocal about guns and gun violence this year, can we give #10 a moment?

Someone once told me I was the most self aware person they knew. And they knew a lot of people. I don't know if that's a blessing or a curse honestly. But I do know I feel anxious most days. To the point where I notice the days I feel ok more than I notice the days I feel bad. That's just my normal.

I am beyond superstitious. I knock on wood, four times to be exact. I believe if you start watching a sporting event in one spot you'll jinx your team if you leave and watch elsewhere. I don't put new shoes on a table, instant bad luck. I eat my fortune cookies after reading my fortunes, mainly because I like the taste but also because I heard you're supposed to for the fortune to come true. And I definitely keep my mouth shut until things are in writing.

Looking at social media today and yesterday and seeing people praise 2017... like what? I thought the world came to a consensus that this year was the WORST. I mean let's just look at a certain man in the White House with a terrifying Twitter account? And the fact that we're not getting Peter Kraus as the Bachelor? Although I feel a little betrayed by you positive thinkers, I am glad someone enjoyed the last 365 days.
