Mustard seed you kicked a big one. I cannot go out out locally alone mainly as too many people know me and want to gossip. I go out I control it. I talk to men and people at work I talk first I set the tone. I drive my bus, and tonight I feel you grabbed r
The wheel right out of his hands. Well done.

Take a calculated risk, be safe. It will make you feel so much better. I have traveled so by myself just me and s to family while with h. Going interstate by plane alone after bd, was empowering.


I also could never go out alone locally. We are both teachers in the area, so there would be lots of people who I may or may not recognize who would be quick to gossip--coworkers, parents--who knows. But that is why the city is the perfect option. I also worry about having a drink and driving--we have always had a zero tolerance rule with that. Going to the city solves that problem the city is an hour train ride away so switching to coffee or water before leaving, then having that hour ride home gives my body the time to recover from any buzz I might have gotten, and it is only about a mile drive from the train station back to the house.

Also, it isn't so strange to be sitting at a bar alone in the city. I figured if anyone asked me why I was alone I could just say I was waiting for the next train out--which was kind of true. Of course no one asked. LOL It wasn't a very hopping place. Next time I'll find a place with more people. There were a lot of younger people, and it is funny how this new generation of young adults rarely talk to each other. Two 20-somethings sitting next to me were texting the whole time they were there. They didn't say anything to each other or anyone else except for when they ordered their drinks. It's a different world than it was in 2000. I probably need to find an older crowd. Happy hour is probably best.
