As human beings, in our effort of achieving the targets we've set, we tend to forget the need for us to have The Space for us to empower/ replenish our souls. Here, I am not referring to courses on how to become an effective leader and what not. Just time to do all our favourite things like going to see life bands, doing our hair and going to the spa.
Key problem is when you don't have the 'gang' for it. Most people will find though, that despite the fact that they are married and all, because of the level of work commitment required of each of us, we all tend to end up being single some how. Which takes us to another aspect of it... being single/ doing things on your own is actually not so bad after all. Of course, you feel a bit awkward the 1st couple of times... but when you go watch a theatre alone or maybe spend that 2 hours at Starbucks sipping the good cup of coffee over reading a good book... it all points to one thing. That you are comfortable with yourself.
Have you ever heard the saying... "You Need To Love Yourself First, Before You Can Love Somebody Else"? So Men and Women out there! Please do make space for yourself. But, please bear in mind that anything excessive is not good... you should give yourself space, but not too much and vice versa. And you never know, when you start things off on your own.. you might actually make a new friend who loves doing the same things as you do .

I used to go to midnight movies all by myself, with a huge tub of popcorn (salty type, yuck!)... 2 hours later, I stroll down the street from the cinema back to my apartment (about 4km away) in the wee hours of the morning, enjoying the cool pre-dawn air and silence.
With hindsight, I could have been mugged or worse, but I must say, those were the most liberating moments of my life.
The key word is "Liberation". But I'm sure those were the days when you were single and not dating anyone haha
I would only dare do the midnight walkabout in Australia during uni days, yes, you would be right.
But thanks for the response anyway (wink!)
