Don’t bend to any pressure, just do what you want! If you want to go to a bar, do that. If you want to stay in and paint or watch Netflix or read, do that. It’s all about balance. Know when to say no when you need to.
Idk if growing up an only child had something to do with it but I love my solitude. Maybe too much. But I think embracing and enjoying time by yourself is important, and I’ve made that a priority especially over the last year. It’s also not as hard since I live alone and I’m alone basically all the time.

Striking the balance is what’s tough. I’m moving back to the city at the end of the month and i”m definitely looking to get a little more time out.
