Lunch for One
No that's not a metaphor it's literal. I wanted to go out to eat today, and did not want fast food. I felt i was in a conundrum of having no one to come eat with me, and the thought of me seating at a table by myself, just seemed too much. Then I realized not only was that not the end of the world but that seemed almost enjoyable. So I went and purchased a book for fun, went to a restaurant and proudly announced table for one.
She led me to my seat and i sat and opened my book, ordered and proceeded to enjoy myself. I do not need a companion to enjoy a meal by myself, I don't need to get my food to go and run home to my apartment to hide. I can be in public by myself to eat and not only endure it but enjoy it. And I did I enjoyed my food and my book all by myself. Smiling.

aww, this blog made me soo happy. I totally understand your struggle here. I've aloud myself to become very dependent upon the idea of always having someone else around to keep me company. That wasn't necessarily always a boyfriend for me, but it was still a relationship of dependency. Its nice to step out and establish your independence, even in the most simplistic of ways.
I'm soo proud of you aly. :) keep it up!
