On Saturday, I went to the movies, which is one of my favorite things to do alone. There’s no compromising what to see, where to sit, and how early (or late) to arrive. And not having to worry about whether the person I’m with is enjoying the film, allows me to have a deeper experience. About halfway through Woody Allen’s sweet and pleasurable new movie, I felt my whole body relax. I literally thought, “I’m happy to be alive.”
