I have a friend from college who was one of the sweetest, and most honest people I ever had the privilege to know. She moved to a state where she didn't know anyone, and got a job, a cat and a condo and loves them all. Right now she's on an Alaskan cruise, which she went on alone because she wanted to go so she just went. It's so amazing to me because I'm such a chicken shit. I always think about going places on my own, but then I never do. I search high and low for SOMEONE to go with me, and when I can't find anyone, I just throw the towel in. When you're chronically single like me, you have to just say "f*ck it" sometimes, and do what you want! Chrissy does it and it's such a breath of fresh air to me. The idea of doing what YOU want to do when YOU want to do it.
I am taking a vacation in September...hard to believe I know...and rented a house down at the Jersey shore. My parents are staying for a few days, which they need, but other than that, I have no one "booked to stay". At first I thought, well I don't want to be alone, but then after thinking, it's not such a bad idea. Sure if people want to come, the more the merrier and that's absolutely welcome. But I think the idea of relaxing, sitting on the beach or out on the deck at night will be WONDERFUL!
I really do need to do something to open myself up to new experiences though. This is a baby step I know, but who knows where I may go on my vacation next year :)
