You know...
-
There's such a negative connotation about being alone.
-
Hey, loner!
-
Or should we say LOSER?
-
Or should we say both?
-
And yet, spending time by yourself is how we figure out who we are and what we really love.
-
Lately...
-
I've been feeling really shitty about being alone.
-
Like, should I be surrounded by people?
-
Is there something wrong with me?
-
Is it weird that I don't have a lot of friends?
-
But, I've come to the conclusion that it's the idea of being alone that bugs me a lot more than ACTUALLY being alone.
-
Because taking yourself to the movies is amazing.
-
And have you ever gone to dinner solo? It's a whole new experience!
-
I actually used to take myself out on a date every week, whether it was to Barnes and Nobles, or a thrift store, or even just window shopping for cats.
-
Hanging out by yourself can be so much fun.
-
And yet, it's looked down upon.
-
You see someone who's alone, and you're like, "Oh, you're so lonely."
-
You know what I mean? It's thought of as like, sad.
-
Well, it doesn't have to be. And in fact, it's probably really healthy for you!
-
When I was a teenager, I always used to fantasize about the day I met my significant other.
-
I was like, "Oh, we're gonna be best friends and partners in crime, and we're gonna have a ball!"
-
And then as I grew up, and experienced relationships, I would always stumble.
-
Because I failed to realize that...
-
if I don't like hanging out with myself, why would anyone else?
-
So, I encourage you to give it a try.
-
Take yourself out on a date this week.
-
Challenge accepted? Accepted.
-
I mean, it can be scary.
-
And weird, and you might feel lonely, but, I think in the end, you'll be really proud of yourself for at least giving it a shot.
-
Who knows?
-
You might get lucky.
-
No, I don't think masturbation counts.
-
Although it is technically healthy.
-
So, the other day, I walked in on THIS:
-
Are those my first edition Watchmen comics out of the plastic?!
-
You said I could read them...
-
That's what the $20 compilation booklet is for! What the fu--!
