Today was a 'me' day...
it's a day when i just take time out for myself and do the things I want to do.
Whether it's shopping, ppl watching, browsing the web, or working out; It's what I want to do and usually i do it by myself.
There's something about being alone that I really cherish. It wasn't always that way though. When I was younger...not so long ago, I hated being alone. But i was forced into a situation a couple years back that really forced me to be alone...and like it. For awhile it was really a struggle to be alone, I used to agonize over what my "friends" were doing without me or what good times I was missing out on. But i soon got over it and went from being alone by force to being alone by my own will.

Someone once asked me the other day about me being alone. Why I like it so much; don't you go crazy by yourself?
my answer? FUCK no. There is no better company than my own company. I can never do me wrong and I can always rely on me to make the best decision. I also get more done and do the best thinking when I'm alone.
It's surprising that I have as many friends and associates as I do now. For someone so outgoing and personable, I HATE being around a lot of ppl all the time. I get sick of it and eventually need my time away from ppl.
To this day I'm thankful for my ability to be alone. I can't stand to be around clingy ppl or people who can't do the simplest of tasks alone. I guess it irks me because i think of how i used to be following ppl around everywhere. All i can say is that I'm thankful for how I am now :)
