Happy Valentines Day, cat ladies!

A Friend (not caroline): omg have you read the “in defense of settling” article? its brutal
monique : where? hufpo?
A Friend: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/03/marry-him/6651/
monique : oh no. i want to die
A Friend: i knowww. this article has destroyed many people
monique : oh boy…i’m so depressed
A Friend: haha you’re only 24. you have time…this sort of stuff only becomes relevant when you’re like 30
monique : true. but it’s still upsetting to greater womankind
A Friend: well, better to know than not know. and it has good advice
A Friend: But as you give him love anyway — because you have made up your mind to transform yourself into a person who is practicing being kind, deep, virtuous, truthful, giving, and most of all, accepting of your own dear self — you will find that you will experience the very thing you wanted all along: Love.
monique : i hope i can get someone to settle for me!
A Friend: no you settle for them! bc they will all be bald someday and chubby
monique : i know! but i feel like my case is different
A Friend: its all about lowering standards
A Friend: another friend is like, i just want to find a 5 ive been doing it all wrong
monique : a 5?
A Friend: a 5/10. bc everyone wants 8s and 9s

monique : misery porn!
A Friend: if you aim low
monique : you win big!
A Friend: then no one will want your man and he’ll be really into you. plus everyone becomes a 5 over time!
