Miles apart.
So it seems long distance relationships are a lot more common than I thought.

How is it that I’m seemingly the only person (probably not the only person, but it’s more dramatic that way) from high school...

Going to the movies alone.
So this topic of discussion came up last night and even though I realize it’s not the most common thing, I guess I didn’t realize it was that uncommon. Way to make me feel like the black sheep you guys :/ But yes… on occasion, I will go to the movie theater and catch a movie by myself. Not because I have nobody to go with, but because I choose to.
