I am single and I like doing things to make myself, as the most important person in my life, feel valued. This are a few things I do to romance myself and to remind myself that there is no one else in the world I would rather be with:
- Drinking tea out of the bowl while the sun rises, and listening to the stillness of the morning on my balcony.
- Reading out loud to no one but me. It makes the book and the words come alive and I can imagine the character saying them and the texture, tone and the feel of the words.
- · Long walks around my neighbourhood. Letting my thoughts run through my mind. Letting myself daydream and having that convo with me that I’ve been putting off for weeks. Realising how much I take my car for granted.
)
- · Stretching on my living room floor or in front of the mirror.
)
We often wait for someone to take our breath away. To do something for us that will make us sigh, and often this is something we are too afraid to do on our own.
I think another freedom that democracy has brought me is the right to have a decent job and to do whatever I need to do without leaning on a man or asking permission from anyone to spend my money.
)
And hell, I have a right to fall in love with me every single second of every single day. I have the right to buy myself flowers and chocolates and to take myself out to nice restaurants, the movies, ice skating just because I love me too much to wait for someone to offer.
