I know that there's Athens, Santorini, and daring Dallas to talk about but, I must honor this holiday by recalling the relationship that once was, years ago, affiliated with this holiday.
April fools is usually a time of sneers and the lies that you laugh off, BUT this is actually one of the few holidays I ended relationship. Yes. There's more than one holiday I've broken things off with a guy....
I never intended to sever relations on a special day, things just going to happen that way. I'm not one for dragging things on. I'm not a pair of Christmas lights, I don't like to be strung along, so I strive to follow the golden rule on this one. This dreamy dude was already referenced as Mr. Africa.... feel free to reference below;)

For a one month relationship, Mr. Africa and I bonded beyond anticipation of either of our gypsy souls.
Okay, not that kind of gut feeling cause I wish somebody would question my gut! One of the worst ways to die is hungry so I have no shame in my less-than-flat stomach.
What about him wasn't right? HE'S GORGEOUS! And he finds me attractive! WHAT>! I even had a friend be real with me and say, "Steph, I love you but, DAMN, how did you get him?! Hold onto that one." I aggreed with her. 4 words: out of my league! So, at our next date, at this renown festival about 45 minutes north of Charleston, on April Fool's Day.... I broke up with him. It's easy to look back on things and ponder opportunities missed. I take full responsibility as a fool for ending something really great before I knew it was spoiled. Quite frankly, it may have never been spoiled... for a cute Spud such as himself, I picked a deceptive dessert, not for him as the fool that took off running, but for me. A fool then, I know I'm a bit wiser now. I'm not certain that he would have prevented me from delving into my Spanish Adventure oh, but I don't think I would be the same person but I am in this very moment, typing this post with a bulldog on my lap if I wouldn't have ventured on that trip alone. Maybe singleness is its own form of Fools Gold. --No, I don't mean the Matthew McConaughey movie

Even with a gut feeling to sever things, I mashed any plans of a future and left him as salty as a brown gravy. The cherry tomato on top was that he probably is to-date, the hottest guy I've ever dated. I loathe potatoes. LOATHE them. French fries are the only potato I'll indulge in (sweet potatoes are a whole different dimension). This ingredient emphasizes my foolishness, not to end things based on a gut feeling I still can't describe, but to end things on a holiday of any kind. https://www.foodnetwork.ca/fun-with-food/photos/fake-foods-for-april-fools-day/#!mashed-potato-sundae Don't be a fool and break-up on a holiday. Isn't the break-up memorable enough than to be affiliated with a celebration printed on a calendar? Silly Steph, fool's day is for kids!
