Скачать или смотреть Life in Manila | Solo Valentine's: Taking Myself Out on a Date

#manila #valentines #vlog

Someone asked me in the last weeks if I have someone to go out with on Valentine's Day. I simply nodded and responded with a 'yes', and I'm not totally wrong with that.

I spent a day of my weekend taking myself out on a date. While most of you would be celebrating Valentine's with someone special or close to you, I revel in the presence of my own company. I have long viewed doing things in solitude as a moment for me to slow down and put myself first when the world tells me to do otherwise.

I went to places where I feel I'm taken care of; getting my nails done, checking in with my doctor, getting a table for one at a favourite restaurant, my eyebrows getting groomed, and finding refuge in the temporary solace of art.

Comfortably alone, and never lonely.
