I'm the kind of person who does not used to go out alone especially for shopping. But today I decided to buy a heater since my room gonna be so cold as the winter approaching. I wonder how I could survive for 2 years staying in the same house during winter without a heater. Really torturing! Couldn't sleep well and my body was shaking trying to fight the cold temperature. Since my class was cancelled today, I decided to go to the Walmart to buy a heater for my room. I've never been there before so I asked my friend and also tried to Google which bus I was supposed to take. It was raining and so freezing. The journey took about 30 mins roughly. Unfortunately, I was lost because I got off the bus one stop earlier since I saw a lot of shops over there. So I ended up buying heater at Canadian Tire, a department store selling lot of house stuff. Actually i think it was an advantage of being lost or else I won't find my heater because it turned out that the heater was not available in Walmart. Everything happened on a reason :)
Some advantages of going out alone:
- Calm my mind
- Make me think carefully before buying, nobody influence me, so less things I end up buying
- Learn how to survive alone
- Don't have to wait for people buying their stuffs, sometimes waiting so long really make me tired
- Don't have to rush and have more time to decide
- Walking alone make me think more about life, how grateful I am
- Could observe various characters of people and make me think why they behave in different ways
- Appreciate life more
- Realize how important smiling was. Seeing people smiling at me make me respect them more and by smiling can make people happy to treat us more (senyuman itu satu sedekah)
- More alert to surrounding
Thus, I think sometimes we need to go out alone if we wanna find out who we are and that will make us appreciate life more and more! Yeah I mean sometimes, not all the time because I admit sometimes we need friends to treasure life more :)
