Party of 1?

What is your first thought for having an amazing night? Full of dancing, good music, few drinks, meeting new people? Sounds like fun, right? What about if you do it all by yourself? Too risky? Think again.

I did it on Friday. My first night out alone. Wohoo. I been wanting to this for a while and finally got my mind into the idea and did it. For 4 hours on Friday, I was in a state of bliss. About an hour in, one of my friends text me and asked me if I wanted to head to a party where they’d be playing electronic music (my fav). I promptly replied “No.” That was the place I wanted to be. I didn’t need friends around to have a good time. To be quite honest, I preferred to be alone.

Results? I’m pretty fun and hilarious haha I love my company. Also, I met new people and didn’t felt insecure or scared at any time. It’s a great experience for those who like challenges and new settings. I learned that the best way to know yourself is when you are alone and I don’t mean alone in your house…alone, alone in the real world.

So, I highly urge everybody to do this. Here are the reason:

1. You are never alone – it’s easier to meet people when you’re by yourself. Even if you’re a little shy, like me, you can do it. You have to take risks and get out of your comfort zone. Feels great!

2. You do what you want – you don’t need to wait for anyone, move from that awesome spot that you found, and you can leave anytime you want to. You’re your own agenda.

3. You learn more about yourself – getting out of your comfort zone is a step ahead to know yourself better. Even if I didn’t learn anything profound on Friday, I surely enjoy it.  You will get more comfortable being alone around people and you will learn to have fun without anyone, just you.

If I did it, you can too. Try it! Enjoy 🙂
