Honest words

[simplethymes]

"Maybe it's the only child in me, but to really feel like myself, and to keep from killing anyone, I need an evening alone at the table every now and then. Food is, of course, a social thing, one of the most positive, primal ways of spending time with people, but eating alone is also an affirmation. It's a way of enjoying me." --A Homemade Life, by

Do you relate to this quote?

[simplethymes]

To a certain extent I relate to this quote, although I'm actually not sure. I am an only child so that's a fact that I share with the author (and there aren't many only-child authors that I know of and enjoy reading about).

Ever since college, I've been cooking for myself, so I have ample time with myself, and I do enjoy it. I don't know if I will miss eating by myself later on though. Right now, i enjoy both the social-eating thing and also don't mind the alone-eating nights. Variety is nice.
