Alone

Just recently I have started to finally feel comfortable doing things alone. I went to a hard core show alone, I've travelled alone and I've gone to movies alone, etc....but for some reason people have issues seeing a girl do things ALONE. It is starting to become apparent that everyone that sees a girl alone in public immediately thinks that she has something wrong with her.
Today, I went to breakfast alone (before I went to church alone) and I felt like EVERYONE was staring at me as I ate my scrambled egg whites at the counter of the diner. It was like they were waiting for "the guy" I was with to show up at any time. When I went up to the cashier to pay my bill the guy actually had the nerve to ask me if I dined alone?!. Then when I replied "yes" he asked where my friends and family were?! As if that is any of his fucking business. What if I had no friends? What if I was an orphan?! What if I was a friendless orphan that just wanted to eat her f'ing scrambled eggs in peace without being harassed about her solo status? Geez people.......when I am alone, leave me alone!
