#go alone

[theinwardlight]

Let me admonish you, first of all, to go alone; to refuse the good models, even those which are sacred in the imagination of men, and dare to love God without mediator or veil. Friends enough you shall find who will hold up to your emulation Wesleys and Oberlins, Saints and Prophets. Thank God for these good men, but say, 'I also am a man.' Imitation cannot go above its model. The imitator dooms himself to hopeless mediocrity. The inventor did it, because it was natural to him, and so in him it has a charm. In the imitator, something else is natural, and he bereaves himself of his own beauty, to come short of another man's.

Ralph Waldo Emerson’s “Divinity School Address” (1838)

I must go alone.

Go Alone

Places expect groups,

Expect dates if not,

But solo adventures are fun.

Take your own pace,

Follow your own interests

Without balancing with others.

It can be scary,

Can feel bizarre,

Like everyone is watching,

But do it anyway.

If they notice, they won't mind,

And most probably won't.

So go alone,

Just try it once.

You'll be fine.
