Hi guys,
I hope you are all doing well and enjoying
the summer. I’ve recently had a thought about starting a blog post series
called “shit you must do in your 20s”, as I feel there are a lot of things
women in their 20s limit themselves from doing simply because they’re too
embarrassed to do it alone/by themselves. So, as we’re in what Danes would
call ‘late-summer’ (end of July), I thought why not explore and enjoy London
on my own. I mean, although doing things with friends can be all fun, you end
up spending 50% of the time on actually finding time in your agendas, figuring
out who’s seen what and then finally deciding where to go. That’s too much time
wasted already – so why not just pack up a bag and go by yourself?
I recently did my first ‘shit you must do
in your 20s’. I visited a lovely little Danish eatery in Notting Hill called
Snaps & Rye and treated myself with lunch. Had this been two or three years
ago, I’d have never had the courage to do it! I went into this very cosy little
place, ordered me some open Danish sandwiches and enjoyed them like never
before – all by myself. To be honest, I did actually really miss rye bread
right around then! However, it didn’t feel as lonely as I thought it would be,
and to be honest as I stood by the till ordering, I was really contemplating on
whether or not I should tell the waitress it was a takeaway.
But then I was
like: come on Mell, you can do this! So I did it, and I must admit it felt
really great – I left the place feeling like one thing had been ticked off my
list. A lot of my friends would never have done that because it could look as
if you’re lonely. So what? Well, then at least I’d look great lonely, ha! No,
all jokes aside. I personally feel like your 20s are when you should explore
and enjoy life to the fullest. When I mean explore, I mean the city in which
you live, yourself (who you really are – get to know yourself) and spend time
alone with yourself – because once you hit your 30s, trust me there’s no room
for mistakes nor any mercy! So why not make good use of that?
Have you ever invited yourself out on lunch
before?
I hope it was a good read!
Until next time,
Mell O.

Such an interesting post, so proud of you! I did lunch by myself once, i sat by the coffee shop's window on a bar chair and felt really important and trendy haha
ReplyDeleteStrong article Mel. I totally agree with you on that.
ReplyDeleteEating alone can be a huge confrontation at times hahaha. I must say in my home town I won't easily do that but for ex. if I come to a place like London, I don't really care that much. strange isn't it ahahha perhaps it's because I know that nobody knows me anyway but still this shouldn't be something that should stop me from having lunch on my own. As you said ''You'll be looking great lonely'' hahaha
