Dear Ellen,

Lately I’ve been feeling more aware of my, let’s call it “single-ness.” Thankfully, I have this postcard.

This painting must have been the start of the “forever alone” meme.

Thank you Dwarf Michel, and until next week Ellen!

Sincerely,

The text of the postcard is

Dear Ellen,

I recently realized some disappointing news. I can never be a real artist (you have to say that word with ennui).

Why can’t I be an artist?

I smile too much.

But – good news! – I can fake the funk. All I have to do is suck on sour candies at artsy affairs. Good news – disdainful, pained expression in the bag. Bad news – I’ll probably say “blech” from the candy at an inopportune moment.

Sincerely,

Dear Ellen,

Phew. I just finished another class and I think this “Still Life in a Landscape” is what my brain looks like right now.

I knew it would be rough when, before a test, the professor said, “you can Google the answer til hell freezes over.”

*Gulp.*

But it’s over! Time for ice cream and high-fives for all!
