solo dates make living alone less LONELY

I've lived alone for 8+ years in Toronto and although I wouldn't say it's a lonely experience, it IS one that requires work — not just into making intentional time with family/friends, but also in learning to truly enjoy your own company. Solo dates force me to be brave and to go out and ENJOY my life without waiting for someone to be along for the ride (although those moments are special too ❤️). Join me as I chat about what living alone has taught me and take you along with me for some solo dates, big and small!
