Date yourself. Step into the romance of your own existence and become fluent in your own solitude. Treat your presence as something worth savoring rather than something to be endured. Learn that your own company is not something to escape from but something to cherish. The world tells you that love is something you find in another, but real love starts with the way you hold yourself, the way you show up for your own heart, the way you become the person you’ve been waiting for. For me, it was taking myself out on a regular Wednesday night to the nyphilharmonic—just me, the city lights, and the sound of a full symphony orchestra. #datenightideas #dateyourself #newyork
