How to have Fun (By Yourself)

We live in a society, in a place and moment where ever since the pandemic, everyone has this obsession over having friends, having a big group, having partners, etc. wich, is totally fine!! and as humans, we of course dont want to be alone forever. but sometimes having a good balance between time with others and time with yourself is the healthiest option.

“but im used to having friends” “what happened to me?” “what am i supposed to even do?”

this, was me, about 6 months ago. but what did i do? how??!?. i learned how to have fun, by myself. 

First of all, you need to know spending time alone, and being sometimes alone, is not something to be ashamed of, it just is a state, an experience, you decide if its good, or not, but never something ‘lame’.

Find your interests!!

it can be sewing, cooking, drawing, watching the cars go by, playing music, or going out for a walk. maybe just watching a tv show, everything counts.

Dont feel the need to share everything!

you dont need to take pictures of every fancy restaurant, of every set of the sun, not even the best day of your life. you dont have to tell every issue or every thought. there’s just things you keep to yourself, that will forever be yours, and that can be something beautiful.

Learn to love, yourself included.

when you spend all this time spending this time with yourself you will get used to you.

learn to love just the fact you are doing something for yourself, even if its just listening to your favorite song.

Dont care about what others think.

I hate the word ‘cringe’. confidence starts with honesty, with vulnerability. Staying true to yourself is the way. keep watching that show that everyone hates but you. keep listening to that underrated artist, and keep doing your makeup for yourself!. People that judge, judge themselves as much as they do with others. sounds cheesy, and you’ve probably heard it a thousand times, but insecure people bully on others. i spent so much time hiding this “secret side” of me, but being yourself feels so freeing, so fulfilling, and the right people will stay by your side.

Messy, but honest blog.
