curious george

It's back.

That ugly feeling that sneaks its way into my life time and time again. Just when I think everything's copacetic (how can you not like that word?), I'm distracted by the reminder that, sometimes, my life is lonely.

Usually, I'm OK. Most days, I'm completely cool with my own company, or with the comfort that my close friends and family provide. But I think what did it - besides the couple-centred/family-focused holidays - was Up in the Air.

See, I'm not afraid to do things on my own. I've embraced it and enjoy doing all the things I love to do, regardless if there's someone else out there who wants the same thing at the exact same time. So, after my yoga class, I took myself to the movies.

Only the problem was, I watched Up in the Air... and it's definitely not best viewed alone. It will make you second-guess and reassess all of your relationships and where your life is heading and whether or not you are as fulfilled as you'd like to think... and as I type this, I'm realizing this could be a good thing. Cheers to looking on the brightside.
xo,
lori

I've always wanted to take myself to a movie when nobody else wants to see it. You are awesome for actually doing it.
