Going it alone

 This is my family blog, yes, but more and more its just about little ole me, here, living life on my own.  I've become more and more comfortable being solo, moving through life at my own pace.  I have been to movies, coffee shops, restaurants, breweries, parks, and live events all on my own. I bought a car by myself.  Tackled big projects alone. Every now and then I think it would be great to have someone to share experiences with, but then I realize that I AM experiencing life with other people - just not ones I currently know, ha ha.  And that leaves me open to meeting and seeing more people. Case in point is this coming weekend, when I will attend a Stick Figure concert in Austin at Circuit of the Americas. 



Have I ever been there? No. Is anyone going with me? No, but The Girl is going to give me a ride (in a weird role reversal!).  Its going to be hot, crowded, loud, probably full of all ages, and GREAT.  And the experience may push my comfort level a bit, being in a big scene by myself, but since I love the music and having fun I feel like it will all fall into place.  No matter your age, there might be worries, but live music tends to bring people together for fun and I will be well-prepared.  I'm never going to be this young again and I don't want to miss out on things.  What are your thoughts?  Have you had to be brave and go it alone?

Good for you, Gina! I have never been on my own...ever. I went straight from my parents home to my own home with husband and kids. I think I would be ok, if I had to do...actually, I'm sure I would be. I don't know about going someplace tha t is loud with a gazillion people though. I would have a tougher time with that but I am happy for those who can do those things.

Grace & Peace,
Pam
