21 Reasons Going To The Movies Alone Is The Fucking Greatest

I know that for some people (even some of my friends) said that going to the movies alone was pretty devastating as it sounds. But I have to disagree with that. I am strongly disagree with that! *eyes on fire*. Why? Because it's fucking great, you saw the title right?

Here are the reasons why:

1. Some weeks, life just piles on the shit.

Because, you know, life. 

2. And you just need a goddamn break.

3. And then you remember: There are few things as relaxing as going to see a movie all by yourself.

4. If you go during off-peak hours, it’s even better because you can sit HOWEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT TO.

Totally true. Been there.

5. Getting to a movie early and looking out at the empty seats??? IT’S LIKE YOU’VE GOT YOUR OWN TINY KINGDOM.

see what I'm talking about?

6. IT’S SO CATHARTIC.

7. When the lights go down you get to let the outside world bleed away; it’s the perfect you-time.

True. The world cannot disturb you.

8. And you don’t have to share your snacks. THEY’RE ALL YOURS.

DIBS!

9. You also get to choose the movie all by yourself; you don’t have to worry about who’s seen what or what genres they hate.

Yep, you can go geeking out all by yourself.

10. You don’t have to worry about anyone else’s opinions at all.

11. You barely have to worry about your OWN opinions.

12. You can cry or laugh or feel WHATEVER, ALL OVER YOUR FACE. NO ONE IN THE THEATER KNOWS YOU. THEY WON’T TELL ANY ANECDOTES ABOUT YOUR WEEPING LATER.

Let it out. Let it all out.

13. Meanwhile, you can silently judge all the dates happening around you.

Mwahahahaha.

14. It’s like you’re suspended in time, chillin’, letting the movie take you wherever it’s going.

Enjoy the ride.

15. You don’t have to wait for anyone else to get out of the bathroom.

And if you don’t have to go YOU DON’T HAVE TO WAIT AT ALL.

16. When you watch a movie at home, it takes a LOT of effort to actually disconnect from the world.

No one’s stopping you from checking your phone or pausing to talk to roommates or family.

17. No one can expect you to text them back while you’re in the theater.

IT WOULD BE RUDE. Like, "dude, I'm in theater right now *rolling eyes*"

18. At the movies, all the theater is asking is for you to *be there.*

And your soul is just like "I'm here." 

19. It’s just a dark room and that movie and you.

Relationship goal.

20. It’s like a reprieve from your problems for ~two hours.~

I got 99 problems.

21. Sometimes you just gotta treat yourself.

Because you deserve to.

I hope that's enough reasons for you to going movies alone. Just try. Believe me, it'll cost you nothing, except for the ticket price.
