I used to have an awful time doing things in public alone. Then a friend of mine found this little, amazing deli and we became regulars. I became so comfortable being there, that even when I was all alone, it felt kinda like being at home. I’d give strangers advice on the menu and sit in a little corner doing crosswords.
I got more confident after that and can eat anywhere alone and even go see movies by myself. I still feel wierd about it in places I’m not comfortable, but I make myself do it anyway to remember that I don’t have to be dependent of others in order to live my own life.

to remember that I don’t have to be dependent of others in order to live my own life…

cheers!!!
