Suddenly table for one isn't scary at all

Eating alone isn’t sad—it’s actually kind of awesome. You get to order whatever you want without negotiating over the menu. You can eat as slow or as fast as you like. You can scroll through your phone, read a book, or just people-watch like you’re in your own little movie. It’s your moment to savor the food and the peace at the same time. Once you realize how freeing it is, eating alone starts to feel like a treat, not a punishment.
