F*** Valentines Day

An addendum to my first post of the day. Got my first rear-ending (love tap or whatever) on the way to class this afternoon.

Here’s what happened, I get off the freeway and have to wait for a slow ass Suburban to pass so I can get on 11 Mile, but as I look to my left and watch the truck slowly pass, I see a black car coming around the corner too hot. It may be 40F and a semi-nice day, but its still wet outside and they didn’t slow down and next thing I know, thud! I just got hit by a newer Malibu.

Of course her and I got out of our cars to make sure the other was okay, but I was a dumbass and forgot to get their info; not that it’d make much a difference because Michigan no-fault or whatever. It was still a dumbass move on my part.

I’m perfectly fine, she hit me at around 15-20mph. And arguably the damage could’ve been worse (scrapped down to substrate and golfball sized indent) . But I sure as hell did not need this today, I’m already anxious about an exam and presentation this evening.

This sounds like the start of a rom-com.

“When she rear ended him on Valentine's day, she didn't just break his bumper, she broke through his emotional barriers and straight into his heart."

I bet you’re just chuckling away.

Well there’s a reason that my name is Chuckles. Just an attempt to lighten the mood, but also I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if there existed a shitty romantic comedy where the people actually met because of a car crash on Valentine’s day.

I'm sorry that you got rear ended. Last year someone hit my car while parking and sure insurance covered it, but it's still really annoying.

but I was a dumbass and forgot to get their info

So I’ve been involved in a few too many boopings myself, so I have trained myself to — while I’m getting out of the car and making sure we’re all okay — immediately snapping a photo of the license plate . So if they slip away or downplay whatever happened, or way more damage was done to me than it looked, I have a plate number I can pull up if necessary. Some plates are stolen and invalid, but this may CYA 99% of the time.

That’s rough, sorry.

I’m confused about the no-fault thing, though. I thought that all no-fault systems were limited to bodily injury only and that fault still factored into property damage.

Well, in hindsight, I appreciate you trying to cheer me up.

That sucks. H opefully the Malibu took it harder than your car did.

Could hardly tell it was hit, that’s how good it took the hit.

A love-tap on Valentine's day? What a coincidence....

If this is another attempt at cheering up, I appreciate it, but its not working.

Out of curiosity, tell me. What has Valentine’s day ever done to you besides this? As far as I can see there’s no reason to be down or pissed at the day, if it’s about being lonely then here’s my scenario: my ex- girlfriend is accusing me of r ape when I don’t even think about doing shit like that. Hell, we haven’t even fucked, period. And we’re only sophomores like wtf even? So that’s my Valentine’s day affair I’m dealing with, only thing that’s good is that it’s my birthday and I’m just straight chilling and ignoring the bullshit. So come on, lighten up and don’t overthink anything it never gets you anywhere good. Keep thinking about being lonely and miserable and you'll stay that way

That sucks. Just focus on the exam and presentation, the car will work out eventually.

It’s done nothing to me. It use to be fun and neat when I was a kid; I just got older and I stopped seeing certain things through rose-tinted happy glasses, like this day. Aside from getting bumped, my day has been good and I intend to maintain that. I’m not thinking about being lonely and miserable. Quite frankly, it’s a waste to fret about things that can’t be controlled like that. As I said earlier, the concept of this “holiday” is stupid, and I maintain that. Nothing more.

Just letting you know you're giving off an old man yells at cloud vibe about Valentine's day, just let it be

What would you suggest I do instead? I admit this could’ve happened any day of the year, it just had to be today. Logically it’d be best to move forward but I haven’t a clue and “just letting it be” doesn’t compute.

You don't have to complain about everything that you dislike if it's not doing anything to you, just literally find anything else to do besides this. You're telling me you actually have nothing better to do than complain about how you think this day is stupid?

Okay I’m depressed about the day and the damn holiday. I admit I’m sour about it and have been for years since high school. I irrationally let myself be controlled by negative feelings about what I believe I lack in life right now and I made myself feel the way I do as a result. It’s a bad habit I’ve carried for a while but it’s also been a while since it’s been this bad. Usually I keep it to myself but I just felt the urge to express it this time negatively and then the accident happened and made myself feel worse.

Sorry...I’m trying to figure out how to fix my bumper cover or make it look better in a way I can afford to . The other is gonna take longer.

The first step to fixing the problem is admitting it. Look at it this way: you’re not in high school anymore, there’s millions of people in the world and you won’t be lonely forever, so long as you don’t dwell on a bad experience from the p ast and act hateful towards a day for example about it. Move forward and look for productive things in your life to do that would get you into a good position in life and then go out and do things you enjoy and who knows you might find someone doing the same things. Focus on yourself and your own feelings about things and trust me you’ll be a lot happier about things and have a better outlook on everything
