Happy Tuesday all!
Being a single woman isn’t some kind of death knell society makes it out to be. The biggest perk of being single is the ability to come and go as you please. While for many (including myself) find that liberating, for some doing activities alone can be daunting. There is nothing wrong with being apprehensive about doing things alone. It took me years to become comfortable with venturing out solo. But after years of missing out on events and activities I said “the hell with this” and decided to go on my own. Are there certain things I won’t do solo? Absolutely but I can’t stop living my life if someone doesn’t accompany me. After years of doing various activities I’ve come enjoy my alone time. Going solo has also helped strengthen my self confidence. If you’re ready to venture out solo, here are a few activities to start you on your journey:
Go to a museum: Museums are the perfect place to go solo. You can take your time and browse your favorite collections without worrying about other’s schedules or time constraints
See a play, dance or musical: No one cares if you’re by yourself. Once the lights go down, all the focus is on the stage.
Go to the movies: I love going to the movies solo. I am a huge sci-fi fan but my friends aren’t so I tend to see a lot of movies by myself.
Visit a botanical garden, park or arboretum: Taking in all that beauty has a calming affect. Pack your favorite, book, a blanket and a lunch for an impromptu picnic.
By the way, spending time alone isn’t just for single people. I know several people who are married or in relationships who like doing things by themselves. Bottom line, single or not you should never stop engaging in activities that make you happy. If that means doing those activities by yourself then so be it!
Have a wonderful day!

I agree. I have always loved going to the movies alone, and even after 11 years of marriage. I still go mostly alone to see movies. It took the hubby awhile to understand, and he would often try and go with me even if he was tired or uninterested. After I explained that this was “my thing” that I enjoyed doing solo there was no more pressure on him.
