058: because single isn’t alone

I went to the movies. Alone,
                          because I don’t want things to be “off limits”
                          because I have no one to go with,

                                           because I want to understand “single.” I hate that term. If you’re not single, you aren’t double; the counterpart is active (in a relationship).

                                                There’s a difference between “single” and “alone.”

                    Alone: I can’t sit by myself.
                    Single: I choose the movie, pick a seat, and eat all the popcorn.

Yes, the time will come when I’ll rock paper scissors for it, but until then I’m going to be single.. something I don’t think I’ve ever been.
