Eating alone is interesting because it is completely normal to eat alone at home but for some reason the second you go outside, it’s frowned upon if you are by yourself, eating. Even when I was in that relationship we made habits of doing things alone, for example, I went to see movies he didn’t want to see ( I don’t like scary & he didn’t do all musicals)  or I would grab lunch he didn’t have a taste for but it’s better eaten there, like tacos and Sushi! Gotta admit tacos are a little better right there at the restaurant.

I got familiar with going out alone, starting with the movies! My favorite place! I get to go, by myself, buy everything ( without complaint, sit back and relax. This was a good start for me, my next step was to take my notebook or homework to a restaurant during lunchtime and sit and eat as I worked on my homework. Once I became comfortable with that, I started going out to eat with nothing to do and turning my phone off. 

I once saw this video and she said “If you can eat alone, you can go out alone, if you can go out alone, you can fly alone and if you can fly alone, you can travel alone.” Again, I didn’t start doing these things with the intention to travel or be alone, they are things I did that showed me I had the tools to travel and be alone, when the time came.
