Go to the gig. Dance by yourself. Maybe you’ll make a friend, but not having someone there with you shouldn’t stop you from enjoying good music and connecting with an artist you love. Stand in the front. No one behind you matters. The night is yours, if you take it.
Go to the movies alone. Go to cafes alone. Take yourself out on dates. Go to the bookshop and buy something pretentious and wanky. Sit in a crowded bar reading about Sylvia Plath’s fig tree or Plato’s Cave.
Don’t believe that you need to be holding someone’s hand to enjoy the sunset. The sunset is just as golden when you drink it in alone.

Though some people might find this kind of depressing I actually see it as the opposite. It’s really been a while since I’ve done this but I see it necessary to go on a date with yourself once in a while. Go to a cafe, take a walk without any destination in mind, or you might as well go to the cinema on your own.
More than an act of self love I perceive it as a way to embrace solitude and get to know yourself more; It brings so much inner peace and helps to heal that part of yourself that finds loneliness daunting. There is a beauty in everything and solitude is not the exception.

i started going to the cinema by myself last year and its the best thing ever. I dont know why it scared me so much to do things alone, however doing things solo actually made my social anxiety better. I love just hanging out by myself now; going to the cinema; a nature walk; solo study date at a cafe. Doing things alone will heal something in you

i have friends for coffee, friends for late nights on the town, friends for smoking weed and playing smash bros, friends for long walks, friends for long talks
it’s not that i compartmentalise, it’s just that i meet my friends where they’re at, and that seems to work for us

Honestly the best feeling
I like to read a bit and unwind for the day then crash before 9:30
I embrace the nana in me
