Go to the movies by yourself

“It seemed so strange to me to be embarrassed and nervous, because I’d thought about that exact moment for a good portion of my post adolescent life. I’ve always had this unusual fascination with being alone, and if anything is more alone than going to the movies by yourself, then I wouldn’t know it. But the thing is, I didn’t feel alone. Feeling alone was never my intention. Once my phone was off, that empty movie theater felt empowering; all of my fear had somehow disappeared and turned itself into pride.”

“I used to go weekly (mainly because I love cinema popcorn) on a Sunday morning, 1st session. The best times were when I was the only person there, but there's usually a handful of people watching. The few times the missus wanted to come, it was less enjoyable because I just felt a presence that took me out of the movie from time to time. Enjoy snuggling up on the couch to watch TV - different in a cinema. Especially when she keeps grabbing handfuls of my popcorn.”
