It’s such a dumb social construct that we can’t go out alone. I took an entire trip abroad by myself to prove that this was a dumbass rule and I still had an awesome time, in a country where practically no one spoke the languages I did. Yesterday, I took a long walk from my apartment, through the entire length of Hyde Park, through Oxford St (stopped and did some shopping), down to Piccadilly (popped into a few bookstores) and had dinner by myself at a restaurant. It was a LOVELY day.

Thank you! I actually have no problem sitting in coffeeshops or shopping alone, but I would love to work up the courage to have dinner at a real sit-down restaurant. You inspire me.
