Eating Alone Isn't That Pitiful

For some reason, when I go to a restaurant alone, I always feel like I need someone to accompany me. I used to think people eating alone were so lonely. But after living alone for a long time, I realized that, actually... When you eat alone, you don't have to cater to someone else's taste. When you watch a movie alone, you don't have to wait for someone to be free. When you travel alone, you can stop wherever you want. When you shop alone, you can put whatever you like into your cart. True freedom is sometimes not about having many people around, but about being able to live your life well, even when you are by yourself. People can love the group, and they can also enjoy solitude. You don't have to rush to grab onto someone just because you're alone. Because once you've learned to keep yourself good company, you won't keep someone unsuitable by your side just out of fear of loneliness. Being alone isn't a failure. Being able to quietly live your own life well is also a remarkable ability.☕️
