yes i date myself and i’m proud of it!
what’s not to like?
1) you love yourself
2) you want to spend quality time with yourself, be in your own world, while being surrounded by the beauty of the outside world
3) you can do anything you want, any time you feel like it
4) there’s no one to tell you “why not we do x instead?”
5) or anyone to make decisions for you
so that’s exactly what i did.
on the 21st, after class, i packed my items into a small sling bag (okay a clutch), dolled up and went out.
i had no idea what i was gonna do, i know i needed to get some underwear, i thought it’d be cool if i walked to south wharf, but it wasn’t a to-do. all i knew was that i wanted time alone to myself, to walk, get lost, whatever.
so from my home, i walked to the city. sushi shop at my place was closed so i walked with an empty tummy. didn’t know what i wanted to eat either. then i saw another sushi shop in the city, and got myself 2 crispy chicken handrolls. god sent! (=
saw an outdoor performance and decided to stay and watch. it was entertaining i guess, and i left only when it ended.
walked to flinders station, and decided that i should go to south wharf.
1) i had nothing to do
2) south wharf would be decent exercise for me
took me a good 30mins or so to reach the place.. i checked my map, from my place to southwharf, it’s about 4.2km..
decided to shop, hooray! walked around, visited every shop that i thought was worth it (you know you can’t do that if you’re shopping with a friend).
i probably spent 2.5 hours walking around, sitting to drink, meddle with my purchases… and i left at 6pm as they were closing.
it was already quite dark by then. but it wasn’t raining, so i still felt happy. saw a busker drumming with tin cans, gave him 1/3 of all my coins. saw a group of men dancing, gave them all my coins, except a 2 dollar coin (just in case i needed it)
and that was how my date went.
i know it’s a lil weird dolling up when you’re just going out alone but hey my rationale is..
if you’re going on a date with a guy/girl, you’d wanna look good right? for them, and for yourself.
and if you’re dating yourself, shouldn’t you wanna look good for yourself too? and be happy? it’s different from wearing a simple t shirt and shorts and slippers and just going out to walk in the park…
can’t wait to go on my next self-adventure. (=
