A few years ago, I spent a year travelling on my own. I drank in bars by myself, I ate in restaurants by myself, I went to the theatre and the cinema by myself. I had to. If I was in a new place and I didn't know anyone, that was how I met people and made friends. Since I came home, I haven't done that sort of thing. I haven't had to, because there's always someone I can invite to go with me. So, in the middle of the night when all ideas seem brilliant, I booked a single ticket for today's 2pm showing of The Mountain Between Us. I went on my own and I'm really glad that I did. I enjoyed the film, I enjoyed doing something for myself and by myself, and I enjoyed stepping out of my comfort zone.
