It's a solid choice regardless, even if things feel a bit heavy right now. I'm with you on that.

I make it a point to carve out some time every single day just to be alone with my own head; it doesn't always have to involve a cup of coffee.

Cyclops by Rank Marinković? Honestly, I'm quite surprised by the choice, though I have my doubts it could ever truly compete with Instagram.

Look, if you're actually noticing that you feel the urge to latch onto some guy you aren't even interested in, then you might want to consider picking up a hobby or just digging a hole in your backyard instead. 🐔 😬

You can always just grab a decent book and use that to pass the time.

Sarah Ward80 said:It’s not "losing." You just sip your coffee, enjoy the moment, scroll through your phone, read the paper, or just observe the world passing by.
That’s exactly how I handle it. And honestly? There is zero shame in it. Reddit soloing is actually a fantastic way to experience the world and the people in it.

Soloing is great, provided you are actually at peace with yourself.

But regardless, you certainly are a bubbly one.

Well then, I suppose we're practically peers. Only difference is, I don't speak "Instagram," nor am I particularly soft-spoken.
I am cheerful, clearly; though it seems I'll have to brush up on my emoji usage just to prove the point.

Anyway, what’s the hardest part for you when you're grabbing coffee solo? Is it the boredom, or is it something else entirely?

wiredfox said:No, you idiot, it’s pronounced "magic," not "megic."

Honestly, how old are you? I feel like I’m having a conversation with my mother here.

So, by that logic, does Instagram make someone an intellectual, while Insta-gramming makes them a moron?

I'm nearly 40, so I'm not quite sure if I'm qualified to be your mother, but how old are you actually?

wiredfox said:It’s practically an unwritten rule—I’m just stating the obvious here.

So, this was a friend of mine, and apparently, they didn't even charge me for the labor.

Oh, sure, and I suppose you get a free meal at McDonald's too?

Well, isn't that just wonderful; sounds like you only paid for the parts.

Exactly, but let’s be clear—it isn’t because you’re alone, it’s because you’re citing Instagram as your source.

So, just out of curiosity, how much did those mechanics actually charge you for the repair?

Regarding this topic.

If I were choosing an alcoholic drink, nothing beats a glass of high-quality red wine.
However, since this particular chat is reserved for those of us who abstain from alcohol, I should clarify that my absolute favorite non-alcoholic beverage is Coca-Cola, even if I don't indulge in it all that often.
