Kate at a Healthy Rate

Welcome. Here, you'll find the ups and downs of a girl named Kate, trying to become as healthy as possible. There's a 99% chance that I'll post about some kind of charity or volunteer project or about one of these other awesome fitblrs' projects at least once a week. There's also a 99% chance that I'll post about my shopping addictions at least once a week. I love nothing more than supporting good people, so I'll probably like/comment on an abundance of posts. Oh, and I think I'm pretty funny, but I'm usually not... :]

On being comfortable with being alone. Dominating Life this weekend.

Posted 3 months ago
Tonight, I went to a place called “Dirty’s” bar and grill. By myself.

All day, I’ve been cranking out episodes of Community and an art project. It’s a long weekend and everyone went home, so I’ve been here all by myself. I decided to shower, put on a nice outfit and go to dinner.

I put on my favorite skirt, tights, boots, a nice shirt, and cardigan and some makeup and headed out the door towards town.

I walked down the street and towards Dirty’s and marched in, asking for a table for 1. The restaurant was crowded and I sat at a table and ordered my food.

I didn’t have my phone with me on the table or even in my lap or pocket, I simply sat there, eating and occasionally eyeing the tv that was playing a hockey game.

And you know what? I was fine.

It’s okay to go somewhere by yourself. It’s okay to not be connected to others 24/7. It’s okay to do your own thing.

They say you’re truly comfortable with yourself when you can be alone and be okay with it. I’m not perfect, and there were times tonight that I was a little freaked out about the whole thing but I’m getting there.
- I've been away from people all day forgive me
