I think social media has made “doing things alone” look a lot more glamorous than it actually is for a lot of us.
Sometimes my version of enjoying my own company is just getting a coffee, going for a walk, sitting in my pyjamas after work or wandering round the shops for an hour.
Living alone with a disability means a lot of my energy goes into just functioning, working, paying bills and managing my health. I don’t always have the money, energy or capacity for these huge exciting solo experiences people seem to be having.
So this is your reminder that your life doesn’t need to look impressive to still be good.
Normal is more common than we think
