make sure you do something that will keep you busy, cafes and parks are cute and fun only if you’re journaling or reading. my top recs: - galleries
-cinema
-ice skating/roller skating
-swimming
• museums
• picnic with a book or art project
• bird watching hikes
• book talks + educational panels (yay learning!)
• reading or writing at a cafe outside
• the movies ofc
there are two types of solo dates i go on: one, where i sit with myself like at a restaurant/cafe i wanted to try or a movie i really wanted to see to enjoy it how i want to or two, where i surround myself with a new community so i feel less alone but I AM alone bc no one knows me options for one: movies, cafe/restaurant, library, thrifting, doing art outside, spa day, making a new meal at home, getting a sweet treat options for two: cooking classes, gym/zoomba classes, book clubs, pottery, hiking groups, escape rooms these are off the top of my head but enjoy yourself love there’s no one better to have fun with than yourself !
New hobbies stimulate your brain and make you feel full of purpose. Making plans with your friends helps you appreciate others and your role in your circle, consuming good art makes you notice little details, taking yourself on solo dates feels super intimate, reading a fun book, listening 2 a genre out of your comfort zone… Basically expanding yourself ^_^
