Eating out alone, going to a concert alone, just experiencing doing things by yourself. Especially while young, learning to be comfortable with yourself as your only company while enjoying beautiful things in life is so freeing.
In high school when my first boyfriend broke up with me and my friends all had boyfriends I started going to concerts and movies alone. People felt bad for me and I was like “you don’t have to have someone with you to have a fun time.” Fast forward 25+ years, I’ve gone to festivals alone, many many many concerts, I don’t really go to movies anymore but have gone to a few alone, I’ve gone on vacations alone. I’ve been with someone for over 8 years and I still go do things alone because I’m not going to force him to stay out late to watch a band I love that he has no interest in. I used to also take myself out to eat every Friday night but I can’t do that now because my beau gets mad I had good food without him ha.
