I’m thinking about going to the movies by myself.
A woman at work told me La La Land is wonderful, a delight. The perfect movie to sit at the back of the cinema and watch on my lonesome without any embarrassment over the fact I may or may not cry. Not in a sad or desperate way; in a way that this is exactly where I want to be.
2017 is all about “treating yo’self”.
You might think it's remarkable I've never before been to a movie by myself. A lot of people I know roll their eyes at that. "Really?" they ask, an air of superiority about them. Others gasp at the prospect - and why would you ever want to?
I do a lot of things by myself. I regularly take myself on hikes. Swimming in the ocean is something I much prefer in solitude. Sometimes I sit in a park, or at a coffee shop and read by myself.
But I've never dated myself. And this... this is going to be a game changer.
Before you get any ideas, I'm not talking about anything sexual. Yes the name carries connotations. No, I'm not interested in exploring the concept further with you.
Masturdating on Mamamia Out Loud. (Post continues after audio.)
Instead, Masturdating is referring to exactly that: dating, yourself.
Taking yourself to the cinema, out to dinner (no split bill arguments), to a theme park or the zoo or the aquarium, all for the purpose of getting to know yourself.
Yes, it's the old trite concept: You must love yourself, before you love another. But there is something in it.
