@youmeusalways: my roommate in college would get a new boyfriend within two weeks of the last one ending. every single time. i used to watch her and think she was lucky. then i went through my own breakup and almost did the same thing. i downloaded every app. i said yes to dates i didn't even want. one night, sitting across from a guy talking about his fantasy league, i asked myself why i was there. the answer was that i was scared of being alone. so i went home and deleted everything. i spent a whole year single on purpose. i traveled. i learned to surf. i started a savings account. the world didn't end. honestly, it started. i'll date again someday. but never because i'm scared of my own company.
