Trust the process.

Believe that that comfort will come.

You will one day not feel uncomfortable about it anymore.

I can almost guarantee you that.

I really believe that.

That's what's happening to me.

Like the first few times post-breakup that I went to a flea market, I went to a coffee shop by myself, I felt naked.

I was like, oh my God, this is so weird.

Like I feel, I think that there was an added layer of vulnerability because in my subconscious, I was like, I'm single.

Like my identity failed.

feels different now because I'm an independent woman right now in a way that, you know, feels really real and really serious.

Whereas let's say I would like go to a coffee shop alone while I was in a relationship.

I was like,

Well, I don't care what anyone thinks of me because I have a boyfriend and I have great friends and I don't really care.

But see, now that I'm going out as a single woman, I'm like more aware of what say guys are thinking about me.

I'm like, do I seem like pathetic?

here alone or like boys judging me or do they find me to be demure and they like you know want to ask for my number like I think that's actually where the discomfort has stemmed from for me post breakup but as I'm repeating the action going out and doing shit alone anyway I'm slowly but surely feeling myself fall back into the swing of it and it's becoming like second nature again and

I will say, if you're finding a hard time motivating yourself to go out and do things alone, let this story motivate you, okay?

I, a few weekends ago, wanted to go out and do something, but all my friends were out of town.

I kid you not, every single friend.
