By Myself

Lately, I've been trying to make more conscious efforts to do things by myself. I've found that it is so easy to rely on being around the comfort of others. Now, I'm taking the time to learn how to rely on the comfort of myself.

I had success with doing so a few weeks ago. I went to a restaurant with the intentions of getting my food to-go, which I did, but I, instead, chose to stay and eat my food in. The restaurant was neither a fast-fast food joint nor a sit-down. It was somewhere in between; somewhere where people usual eat in two's or more if they decide to dine in. Anyway, I sat down, ate my food and read my book. It was nice.

Today, I decided to go to the beach alone. And it was great!

I sat, wet my feet, read my book, watched the sunset and blasted Biggie's Read to Die in my free pink Virgin America headphones.* I was so nice to be away from my computer/internet/tv.

I had a ball! All by myself. (:





* I let someone borrow my headphones months ago. Never got them back.
