26-28: All Alone, among others....

BCity - Prompt: Can you be alone with yourself?

Love the way this question's phrased. Knee-jerk response: If you're by yourself you are alone. But I don't think that's what this is asking. Basically, Can you be happy by yourself, without needing extra company?

Absolutely. I think it's an important confidence booster parents should instill in their children. Community is great but part of taking care of yourself is being comfortable with yourself both in the mental and physical sense.

Granted, I'm naturally a loner that has been nurtured to be more outgoing and attend social functions. To this end I feel very balanced and urge everyone to go out to eat and or a movie by themselves at least 3 or 4 times a year.
