Alone

You know, I love going cafe hopping. Just find myself a good cafe, good coffee, good ambience, and I'm pretty much set for life (ok no kidding). Lately I've been going to different cafes alone and at some of these places when they asked for how many seats, queer look sets in when I signaled for 1.

The concept of being alone outside, scares the hell out of some. However for me, being alone outside is a sort of recharge as I see the outside world move along by me. I suppose it scares people because the idea of being alone is to be judged as being a weirdo or estranged from society. Is there something wrong with him? Why is he always alone? No friends? He's weird. These are just some of the questions I've had to answer over the course of my life whenever I hang out alone.


Solitude with one self is the most important thing one should be able to achieve in life. Without being comfortable with self, how can one expect to be comfortable with others?

Doing things alone can be quite refreshing despite of how many of us perceived it to be. For introverts like me especially, it helps me focus on the task at hand. 

It is of course nice to have someone to sit and talk with on the other side of the table but it is perfectly okay to be staring at a chair, a coffee cup, and a good book to keep you company during the few hours just so you remain grounded. 

Don't judge, don't be afraid of being judge. Be yourself.
