Prom, prom, prom. It seems to be bouncing around quite a bit: morning meeting, messages out the wazoo from my own father, and then girls urging me to go with other guys so that they'll know people there...
Well I got news for ya. I'm selfish!


I love to pull the moral card when it comes to dances, but I was honest with myself earlier today. I don't want to go mostly because I'm selfish.

The way I see it, going to dances is merely a way to cause me more pain by reminding me I don't have a girlfriend and that I'm not even close to being prepared for one.
Yeah, it would be fun. Yeah, I like to dance. But truly? It'd be more pain than it's worth.

So I'm sorry I'm not going to prom but please be kind. My guess is I'm not the only person who feels this way. No one wants to be alone, and if he/she's holding back for a few years because he/she's waiting for a time and a place where he/she can engage in a serious relationship, don't torture him/her.

(This is only the biggest reason, there are others as well...)
