How capable are you of making yourself happy? (No innuendo folks, please..)

Seriously - I stopped to think about it the other day and realised how mostly I rely on my friends and my family etc. If I was on my own and wholly responsible for myself - then.. it'd be different. I think this is all sparked by my recent birthady making me think about everything in a slightly pretentious way.. But - nothing's going to change unless I make it. Nobody's going to tell me what to do, where to go. I have to decide.  I think I had a romantic vision when I was younger (too many of the wrong books and films) that I'd meet some guy and travel the world with him. But - why don't I decide to travel the world off my own bat?

I'm very good at saying NO if I don't want to. But on the opposite end of the scale I'm sometimes bad at coming up wtih ideas. I will fritter a weekend reading and sleeping and unless I really think about it, won't summon up the oomph to go and do something by myself. That's bad.

bleurgh, This is the worst sort of self-indulgent outpouring - apologies. But  anyway. There it is.

Advice and reccomendations..

So, this indian summer won't last long I feel, and I'm now left with lots of holiday allowance, a little money and a yearning to lie in the sun..possibly Greece.

None of my friends want to/have time to go on holiday, so this means I need to go on my own. Now, I pretty much see myself going through life on my own (yes, yes I do have friends, but I don't see me 'coupling up'), so it's high time I tackled the solo holiday. I am easily brave enough to go stay in a city on my own, that's not hard. But can I tackle a lazy holiday in the sun by myself. Somehow this seems so much harder.  I just want to go stay somewhere quiet near the sea where I can potter and sunbathe and swin without feeling either like a loser or intimidated.

Have you ever done it?   Bit of a longshot but you can reccomend any sleepy Greek villages with affordable accomodation where a single girl won't mind going?

That's depressing now I re-read it, but I'm determined not to be beaten on this.
