157. Being Alone Does Not Mean You're Lonely


Tonight I went out to have dinner all by myself.  You are probably thinking to yourself, "So what? Big deal!"  It was a big deal to me.  I have been 'single' for nearly a year and a half.  In all of that time, and in fact for my entire life, I have never gone out to eat alone.  If I didn't have someone else to go eat with me I would just get take out and eat at home.  I just had the thought that if I was sitting there all alone that people would pity me.  So, I just never did it to save myself from my perceived possible humiliation.

Today I ran all over the place.  I got my hair done, got my car detailed and then went and had my car tuned up.  By the end of the day I was starving.  I grabbed my phone to order take out while waiting for my car to be finished.  But, I changed my mind.
