Following last nights situation, I have discovered something. Doing things alone is incredibly noticed For the first time in my life, I sat at the cinemas by myself and watched a film by myself and was quite happy untill other people pointed out how alone I was. Was I alone? thoughts started coming into my head, I suppose I was alone but why was this strange? I need not talk to someone during a film, infact I started to become so aware of the groups of friends and lovers around me I moved to the corner, to bask in my alone-ness and sit content without the rest of the world reminding me just how alone I was.
After the film had finished I started to think of how strange people think it is to do things alone, to live life alone , to go on holiday alone, to adopt a child alone. Things are usually in couples or in families or friends. It's true, I is a very lonely letter but is it happy alone?

i dont think its unusual to be alone. i`m always alone when watching a movie. people take notice but i believe they dont really care. its how different people look at people who are "alone."
i believe we live in this world "alone," its just the high we get we`re with someone that we think we can`t live alone but truth is whatever happens to you, at the end of the day, you`ll realize, you only have yourself.
this is quite a sad way of looking at it though, I'm really talking about the physical alone here. I think we're not totally alone you know?
oh yes and, hello! who are you?
Hi Amelia
You are right it is quite often other people who make you have a problem with being on your own. You can be quite content with your life until other people put their expectations on you by asking: Are you still single? Have you bought a house yet? etc etc
