Misery Loves Company
Heavy metal. From the Vengeance Falls album, released in 2013. More info from Wikipedia.
Today is a special day, and a day that needs a little elaboration. Nonetheless, today is miserable.
On this day ten years ago, I had married the one person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Eight years prior to that date (which makes 18 years ago, if you're keeping count), I was a neophyte in the "love" scene. I naively thought that I knew what love was at the time. I thought that I knew who I wanted as a lifetime partner, how to treat them, and provide an environment for our children that I never got to experience growing up.
Needless to say, this was all a complete illusion. I didn't know it at the time, but the "love" that I thought I had for certain people (who are now barely — if at all — involved in my life) was everything that I now know isn't what I wanted.
