Do you ever take yourself out for a me-date?
It may sound strange, particularly in a world which is so fast-paced where we often have so very little time for ourselves. But in recent years I've come to realize that I really enjoy - hell, I think need is more appropriate - my own space and time to myself. In my time off I enjoy nothing more than taking myself off for the afternoon for some peace, quiet and time alone.
I know some people would hate this idea - being alone with no-one to talk to or enjoy it with. For me I need this space and love being able to do exactly what I want without having to fill gaps with chatter and be selfish. Time for me, to do what I want, without having to worry about the needs of others.
So what do I do? It's nothing revolutionary - walking into town for a coffee with my book and spend a good couple of hours reading. Taking myself out for lunch at a local cafe. I love having the time to read on my own without interruption or the worry of having to get stuff done. Going into Guildford for a mooch round the shops, a walk round the park, sitting in the sunshine. It needn't cost a lot of money, but taking the time out is totally worth it.
