i am. going alone

have you ever really wanted to do something, but didn’t because you couldn’t find anyone to do it with? i remember last year i really wanted to do a northwest coast road trip, but didn’t have a soul to do it with. & trust me, i get it, not everyone is willing to spend three weeks driving around the country spending every last penny in their bank account. people have jobs, responsibilities, stuff to get done. & sadly, i didn’t go on this trip and regret it every day.

i’ve always been afraid to do things alone. like, who will i talk to, won’t i look weird, blah blah blah. well lemme tell you, last week i went to the asap ferg concert alone, and i felt empowered. a few people even gave me props for going alone. no one assumed i wasn’t with friends. &, to be quite honest, even if they did, i probably wouldn’t have cared. after coming to college, and seeing so many wack things (examples in the post from last sunday), i realize that the people who do things that are just outside of “normal” are the people who always look the happiest. and gosh dang it who doesn’t want to be happy.

so from now on im saying frick it. im not going to miss another fab opportunity because im relying on someone else to tag along (i still prefer to have a friend with me. so, if anyone ever wants to go on some adventures, let’s do it!). its the only life we’ve got, so we gotta live it BIG TIME (dun dun dun dun dun duhhhh) #likeifyougetit#likeifyoudont
