8- Roaming the mall alone

"Describe a day at the mall. "


          There is always something surprising about a person. Like how one secretly loves to cook but never in her life made a clue on it. Or like how one liked to sing in the shower even though she couldn't sing. Well, my own secret that no one knows of is that I liked roaming the mall by myself.

          I know, I know. Why would someone want to roam a big mall by themselves? Won't it be boring? Walking alone, having no one to talk to, to laugh with and joke around with. It seems lonely and tedious doing it alone. No one can comment about the things you would buy. No will talk to you.

          But the thing is, that's just it. No one will be able to talk to you and so, you are free to observe and look at the things you would like. No one will comment that they don't like the things you like. You won't be forced to wait in them nor will you be pressured to be waited on. You may take your own sweet time looking at things. You won't be distracted by others commenting about how they want this and that. You can just do what you want.

          Another thing that I like about it is the adventure of being alone. You might be wondering, what adventures are there in a mall, of all places? Well, first of, being alone you are more open to bad guys. You might think I'm crazy now. Why would one like that? Before I explain that let me continue on the list of adventures in the mall. Another adventure in the mall that can happen is that being alone, you can bump into anyone accidentally, be it someone you knew or someone totally new. In the end, it all comes down to me being a hopeless romantic.

          I mean, like those stories where one is in danger in a mall by robbers then suddenly she get saved by a guy and later they fall in love. Or if you bump into someone then later on you realize you guys are connected in some way. Seriously, roaming alone can have these perks. You just don't know if it will happen. But I like imagining about it as I walk down the mall.

          But I only go alone from time to time. In the end, even tough I like going to the mall alone, having friends with you is fun. Specially if it's those who are really close to you. But it won't hurt to have a day alone in the mall, right?
