  • Eating Alone….

    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. 

  • An Honest Introduction

    My Name is Unique, I am 32 years- old, a former journalism teacher who recently separated from a 10-year relationship. In the last 10 years, I have lived in 3 different states, traveled to many parts of the world and all over Italy, purchased two homes, “eloped”, and by the grace of God, had no children.  This will all be important as I dive into what would cause a woman to stay in a relationship for 10 years while being used and begging for marriage and how there is so much that can be valued while going through a tough situation, as well as after it.
    This blog is about honesty, how honestly, I can afford to travel consistently while not making and saving much money, so hopefully people can apply my techniques and/ or get ideas on cool experiences. How honestly, it was solo traveling that helped me end my relationship. How it honestly took more than just attending therapy to let go of certain emotions. How the support of friends is tough because I wouldn’t be honest and most importantly, how an honest, strong, and dedicated relationship with Jesus has helped me get out of the last phase of my life while figuring out the current one.
    I have always had a love for journalism and a passion for helping people. This sparked someone to give me the idea to share my story and experiences as it may help someone going through something similar or may help someone wanting a similar travel experience but not quite knowing where to start or how.
    These last few years have shaped my life and have taught me to live free, forgive, love, and support myself as a woman in her 30s by healing my inner child and giving myself what I feel like I deserve. Using my free will and doing things like solo traveling, talking to random people, eating my dessert first, reading certain books, having faith, and pouring my energy into myself is something I feel like I can speak passionately about, and I would be honored to share if it will help someone achieve the same.
