Apr 10: Solo Adventure Date

Breaking the mental restraints
“The Fool”
Painting high in High Park
Took myself on a little adventure date today, it was really nice. Really spoiled myself and it felt good. Got coffee and a donut at a new spot in my neighbourhood where I journaled and drew. Bought an adventure watercolour sketchbook and a new bomber jacket that is in my exact colour! I stepped into a gallery where a chill guy was showing his work and I chatted with him-one of his paintings in particular resonated with me “the Fool”, it was very inspiring. I wandered a bit and checked out a few shops along the way to High Park where I found a spot to smoke, jam, and draw.

I want to avoid nonessential spending or treating myself during the week so that I can save up and splurge on my days off. I’d like to be more intentional in spending time with myself- finding event’s that interest me or trying good food at nice restaurants. I don’t like the idea of only doing such things when I’m with other people, I deserve the same treatment. Besides how can I share my favourite foods, drinks, places or events with other people if I don’t try them for myself?
