Reminder: Date Yourself

Last night I was going through the old posts of my Instagram and I saw one that was about how much I loved to take myself out on a date.

and then I realized I couldn’t remember the last time I did that.

it had been so long since I last did it that I forgot that I even loved doing that. But those were my words, clear as day. I made a promise with myself to go somewhere soon just for me, as definitive date with myself.

and then plans fell through with meeting a friend for coffee. I realized that while I was walking over and I could have very easily just turned around and headed back home.

but today I decided to take myself on a date and continue my way to that coffee shop.

I sit here now, at a spot on their patio. I feel the wind in my hair and the sounds of cars busy getting where they need to get to next as I write.
