TORONTO GIRL CHRONICLES

I personally have never understood why being single is such a bad thing. Mind you, I'm twenty-five, I have two jobs, go to school, have a lovely family and friends and a list of extra-curriculars that keeps me fairly busy. I guess I've never had a chance to ponder on being single . However, I've always made it mandatory for me to spend quality alone time. Yes, I've been to the movies by myself, dinned alone, shopped alone, gone to a concert alone, attended a summer festival alone, even travelled alone. I had so much fun doing it, sometimes I think it will be hard sharing these things with someone else.
I think spending quality time with yourself is so important. Its so empowering to know that you don't need anyone to be happy and that you can make yourself happy. Getting to know yourself can be fascinating and sometimes you just need to be alone with your thoughts.

I found this lovely little blog post on dinning alone. I know exactly what Ellie (the author) means.
