On occasion I dress up and dine at expensive restaurants alone.

Then I indulge in overpriced main courses and decadent desserts.

I've always been a bit of an escapist, but at least I'm not afraid to eat alone.

Sometimes we don't say some things out loud because we don't want to hurt the people who have hurt us the most.

But how is that possible?

So in conclusion, we are only try to protect ourselves.

The question is, from what exactly?

Sometimes I long to go back to that cool summer morning in London.
