# "I'm lonely 😎"

Yeah, this was my Tinder bio for a while.

If I had to guess, "nothing matters 😭, nothing matters 😎" was probably my
inspiration.

Part of me wants to relate this to the
[Vinegar Tasters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinegar_tasters). There's
something funny about being lonely. There's a particular "vinegar" taste
associated with dating. "Why did I say that?" "Why is she even into me?" "Is she
'the one'?" "Why wasn't I good enough?" etc. etc.

But another part of me wants to say that cynicism is cliché. Maybe everything
doesn't have to be a joke.

Anyway, I think I miss the loneliness sometimes 😎
