Getting comfortable doing things alone didn't happen overnight for me. It happened because I travel by myself all the time, and somewhere along the way sitting solo at a restaurant, a movie, or a concert stopped feeling like a big deal. This week I took it further than usual.

It's week four of the Summer of George and I'm two and a half weeks into my LA stay. I spent the Fourth of July at a beach party in Hermosa, I'm heading to my first Dodgers game in over a decade, and I finally have a dating update worth sharing. The one that actually feels like a real date instead of another meetup.

I also drove out to Oxnard by myself to catch Tom Segura running new material at a tiny comedy club, front row, four feet from the stage. I get into the strange realness of parasocial relationships, why I think everyone should get better at doing things by themselves, and what a year of showing up every single week has taught me.

Because today is the one-year anniversary of The Scarlet Edit. One year of Thursdays. Thank you for being here for all of it.
