At the end of an evening on Tuesday, the third of October 2023, what does a single guy do when he is lost and lonely? That’s a question I’ve been asking myself a lot lately. I don’t have many friends, and those I have are either busy, married, or live far away. I don’t have a girlfriend, and I don’t have much luck with online dating. I don’t have any hobbies, and I don’t have much money to spend on entertainment. So what do I do? I sit at home, watch Netflix, and feel sorry for myself.
But that’s not what I want to do. I want to live a more fulfilling and exciting life. I want to meet new people, try new things, and have some fun. I want to feel happy and hopeful, not sad and hopeless. But how do I do that? How do I break out of this rut and find some joy in my life?
Well, I decided to do something about it. I decided to challenge myself to do one new thing every week for the next year. It doesn’t have to be anything big or expensive, just something different and interesting. Something that will make me feel alive and curious. Something that will make me smile and laugh. Something that will make me grow and learn.
So far, I’ve done some pretty cool things. I’ve gone to a comedy club, a karaoke bar, a pottery class, a rock climbing gym, a haunted house, a sushi restaurant, a bowling alley, a museum, a concert, a park, a library, and a zoo. And you know what? It’s been awesome. I’ve had so much fun and met so many nice people along the way. Some of them have even become my friends.
I’m not saying that doing one new thing every week has solved all my problems. I still have days when I feel lost and lonely. But I also have days when I feel hopeful and happy. And those days are becoming more frequent and more intense. Doing one new thing every week has given me something to look forward to, be proud of, and talk about. It has made me more confident, more adventurous, more open-minded. It has made me more alive.
So, if you’re feeling lost and lonely at the end of an evening on Tuesday the third of October 2023, or any other day for that matter, don’t just sit at home and watch Netflix. Do something new. Do something different. Do something fun. You might be surprised by how much it can change your life.
