By default, I’m a boring introvert who spends majority of her time alone in her ivory tower, all the while wondering why I’m dissatisfied of my life. Okay, it doesn’t take a Sherlock to figure out that the problem might be not ever leaving the house, getting into new situations and meeting new people. I do know all of this, but taking action, first getting out of bed, then getting myself ready, and finally stepping outside, takes enormous amounts of energy.
Being alone in not a problem to me, and I don’t need a gang of friend around me to go somewhere, but breaking habits of going to the same places and doing the same things is hard. I figured I need to spank myself and do something I never normally do, and get into habit of breaking habits.
There is this very nice bar in my city, old school charm, dark interiors and during a weekday, it’s quite peaceful. I came here, ordered a glass of Riesling and made my way to the back of the bar. There is a book case on the back and I picked up a crime novel by Patricial Cornwell, a pretty safe bet. Yes, I could drink a whole bottle at home at the same price and I have good books, but I meed to do these kinds of things more.
It feels like my brain is excercising and rewiting just by me doing this simple act of removing myself from the environment I’m always in.
Who knows what adventures this might lead to.
This looks like a perfectly fitting step outside your comfort zone. Reading in public can be the prelude to some good times. If nothing else, you can have fun people watching between chapters. :)
I have to say, it was quite enjoyable, and later on, a friend of mine spotted me from the Instagram stories I made, and came over to have coffee with me, so I didn't have to spend the whole afternoon just with my book.
I can see myself enjoying a nice glass of whiskey there while people watching.
They weren't any window seats available but those are great for people watching because they are towards the main street in the centre of the city.
Cool aviator sunglasses, dont become a bridgette jones chardonnay drinker! But its ok to spend a day or 2 like that to recharge a bit. Oh and I like that padded couch too..
You mean fat, desperate and sloppy? Not gonna happen.
😅🔥
You are so cute, breaking habits is really tough, the bar looks also a bit lonely tbh, giggle 🤣
Haha you are right but my friend actually joined me so not so lonely in the end :)
Seriously, I can stay there all day reading book by myself. You don't need a company there, it's just perfect as is.
