Dinner: A liberating action

Jan 24, 2007 12:41

So most would say that dinner is just dinner. You sit, eat, and talk with those around you. If out at a restaurant or home around the table. But when you eat dinner by yourself and you don't have anyone to talk to you think. Well I went to Charlie Brown's last night for a nice bowl of French Onion soup. Not a big deal really. But I went by myself. It's a bit odd going to a restaurant by yourself. For a little while I got down on myself because...well...I was alone. Usually I have Whitney with me or someone...but nope not last night. I started thinking. I sat there smoking a ciggarette just thinking. About how I should be sitting across from someone...and what I truly wanted was a man to be sitting across from me. Someone who knew me and didn't get bored of me. As they all seem too after a short period of time. I wanted to laugh with him and know I was leaving with him to go watch a movie all cuddled up. I let my mind wander down that way for a little while...then I stopped for a moment and thought: Look at me, I'm young in college and have a lot going for me including the rest of my life. I was sitting there alone in a restaurant. With a cigarette and a book. Not many people in my age bracket would go out by themselves like that. At least the people I know from school. It felt good. I felt independent and strong. I'm not sure if that's stupid...to feel that way about yourself just because of going to eat alone. But none the less I felt it. I realized while I do need people in my life...I don't fully depend on any one person. This made me feel good about myself.

Well just a quip, I'm of to math >.< Quiz time
