Alone Doesn't Mean Lonely

I'm sitting in a breakfast restaurant after finally putting in my rental application. I'm one kind remark away from tears. A one-bedroom apartment is the ultimate sign that I'm alone.

I have great friends, as witnessed last night, but I will soon have my own place with no room for anyone else. And it frightens me.

Being alone is the only thing I've ever truly been afraid of. What if people don't come by? What if my new neighbors don't like me? What if the rest of my life will be like this?
