This summer there are three really special things happening in my town. One will likely never happen here again, the other two events might come round again.
I would like to go to all of these events, but I can't face doing any of these fantastic things alone, especially as one is expected to have 100,000 visitors. I do so much alone and can usually cope, so why not now? I don't want to be alone among so many people. I don't have friends I can ask, and trying to find someone to go with on a friendship website is too scary and anyway I'd still be on my own with a stranger, they wouldn't be able to share the memories with me afterwards.
The choice is bleak, I can go on my own or just not go, either way the loneliness wins.
