Alone But Not Lonely




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:
  1. Calm my mind
  2. Make me think carefully before buying, nobody influence me, so less things I end up buying
  3. Learn how to survive alone
  4. Don't have to wait for people buying their stuffs, sometimes waiting so long really make me tired
  5. Don't have to rush and have more time to decide
  6. Walking alone make me think more about life, how grateful I am
  7. Could observe various characters of people and make me think why  they behave in different ways
  8. Appreciate life more
  9. 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)
  10. 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 :)
