In our millennial culture that we adore and subsist in, being alone is not the hip thing. For the average twenty-something person, sitting alone in a restaurant  or coffee shop is straight-up uncomfortable. As Relevant Magazine put it, “The Millennial generation prizes community, which is very good, but it tends to come at the cost of fearing loneliness.” People can and will assume a lot about someone sitting alone. But set aside the thoughts of others. Being alone exercises  your mind, and improves your heart condition.

Going to a coffee shop alone has potential to be awesome. I just had one of the best times with Father I have had for a long time in a local coffee shop, and I was alone. Everyone else was laughing and chatting it up with their friends, and I was alone. I suppose this is easy to write about, but it probably will be a learning process before you and I are able to go somewhere alone without feeling slightly uncomfortable. Regardless, it’s good to get alone sometimes, especially in places where it’s a bit uncomfortable.
