alone time

some people might think it's strange that i do a lot of things alone. i take long walks alone, sometimes i'll go to the movies, i will sometimes eat out, and shop alone. i love having me time and feeling more and more independent each day. i used to not think i could ever do things on my own and i have proven myself wrong once again. granted i do get lonely from time to time and i would like the company of others; however, it's difficult because i have moved to a new city and i don't know people in this area. luckily i have a lot of family members who live close and who are able to visit me whenever i feel that i want to be around others. but there is a lot of time where i feel that being independent has its strong suit. i don't have to feel pressured by anyone to hurry up, i feel more comfortable making mistakes knowing that there isn't anyone who is going to criticize me for it and i feel more comfortable with myself in general. i'm learning more and more from my mistakes. i feel good about my life and where i'm headed. life is a journey and i'm enjoying each step that i take.
