Party of One.

Several years ago.

Loneliness comes from not knowing your own heartbeat.

You should sit with yourself and your own thoughts.

How can you be lonely when there are so many adventures to be had in your mind?

Some of the greatest moments that I had this year were by myself. Eating out by myself for the first time. Going to the movies by myself and not caring who was wondering when my date or friends might show up or if I really had the balls to come alone.

Working out by myself.

I fell back in love with myself this year – and it’s the greatest relationship that I’ve ever had. Finding comfort in my own skin.

When’s the last time it was just you and you had the best conversation you’ve had in a long time?

A Girl in a Ghost Town.

When I first started venturing out into ghost towns, I was fascinated with the idea of being alone in a town.

I was trying to escape myself after a bad break-up.

I was disappearing without actually disappearing.

I felt gone like the people who left these places for various reasons.

I was looking for something that I didn’t know I needed, until I found it.

I imagined the ghosts of people long gone, loving and laughing on these forgotten grounds.

I fell in love with the personality of rusty, beat-up cars and houses with caved in foundations.

I fell in love with the way the breeze caressed my face differently than in the city.

I fell in love with the song of birds and insects.

I fell in love with the melody of swaying grass.

The structures reminded me of myself.

Abandoned, but standing.

Falling, but somehow still sturdy.
