A year ago, I loved my job. Now I simply like it but see it as a stepping stone to something greater. A year ago, I thought I was in a wonderful healthy relationship. I wasn’t but now I truly am. A year ago, I would rush the days in a search to find something exciting and better. I searched for something to give my life more meaning. I feel like I’ve found that meaning now and I can embrace everyday life even when it is monotonous and repetitive.
My best friend once told me that I am intimidating. I was shocked. I had to ask for clarification a few times because I don’t think I am intimidating at all. I’m awkward, easily entertained and fiercely loyal. I’m obsessed with Ed Sheeran and have an insatiable desire to travel. I had no idea why any of those traits made me intimidating. But then I thought about it and I have asked other friends if they understand the comment and agree and quite a few do. I guess the intimidation must come from being independent? That I will speak my mind within reason and that I am 100% myself without any qualms?
I made the choice a year and a half ago to move back to Pittsburgh. I don’t regret it one bit. Okay, maybe I regret slightly how much I pay for rent but that’s okay. I love the city and I like being out on my own. However, being away from family means that I only have friends to rely on for coffee, restaurant and movie dates. Or, I have myself. I have NO issues going to eat by myself or shopping or anything else and I wish more people would feel empowered to do the same. Here are my reasons why it is great to be your own date!
