Another one of those theories I have, but not one I’ve bothered to Google yet, because, um, my head hurts too fucking much to do it:

I’ve been a smoker for the majority of my adulthood, except for my pregnancies (for those, I’d quit until after delivery, and within a few months after, would go back to smoking again).

But I’ve never suffered from migraines except for during the time that I quit smoking (because it was bad for me instead of because it was bad for a child I was carrying). When I started smoking again shortly before my ex-husband and I separated, my migraines also faded away.

I never considered any correlation between these two things until now - because I’ve quit smoking again, and wouldn’t you know it, the damn migraines are back (and with a vengeance).

Bah. Time to go bang my head against a wall (yes, it actually helps to do that when the pain is this bad).

But until we meet him, the solution to the single person’s isolation may be simple: shut the lid on our laptops, and get over ourselves - you don’t have to do it all on your own. We’ll only find the comfort to our singles’ loneliness by spending time in the physical presence of people we love. If we want love, we have to love. We have to open our hearts to connecting again.
