Today looked much different than it did three years ago, although the colors of the season were much the same. I tried to make it as ordinary a day as possible.
At some point today I came to the conclusion that just because I’m single does not mean that I am not capable of doing the things that I want to do. I would now like to share how I acted on this conclusion, this epiphany.
I went to a movie by myself. I, of course, loaded up my purse with snacks from home before leaving. I was able to enjoy some circus peanuts and M&M’s while watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows- Part 2. I always talked about wanting to go to a movie by myself, but for various reasons never actually did. What a perfect opportunity today was for me to do it.
For as lonely as I feel sometimes and as often as I yearn for someone to share my daily life with, I like being by myself. I like making my own plans, I like having my own timetable, and I like making my own decisions (as scary as they may be). For now, I enjoy being with myself.
Here’s to the next film I will take myself to see. Cheers!
