My favorite part: "I couldn't really meet her for lunch because of force majeure. Sorry, not my fault. Don't believe me? Come over and ask the robbers."
I laughed out loud.
Also, very insightful thoughts on overthinking. I'm going to think about it.
Such a simple but captivating title. You had me hooked all the way through. Great ending to the story as well, but my favorite part is being given permission to think as much and as long as I want. Every introvert on the planet just breathed a sigh of relief.
This piece is such a roller coaster in the most fun way! I feel like I’m watching a wry comedy where the lesson comes from the unexpected mundane moments while something crazy happens in the background. This feels so real to you and your voice, and yet also a new style that I really enjoyed. Great essay Silvio!
This piece had me laughing out loud, Silvio. I've said this before, but I think you do stream of consciousness writing SO WELL. It inspires me to write more of it.
I hope this piece somehow makes it back to your former colleague so she can see you were telling the truth, lol. This will, however, become my new excuse.
From a fellow solo lunch lover, thank you for saying it. There is no such thing as overthinking, I am free for lunch yes but with myself thank you. Silvio, lovely hilarious read as always - your voice shines through.
Silvio, this is so good!

Loved this fun musings on having lunch by yourself, an experience I treasure myself. Meet me for lunch by ourselves Silvio!

Haha I am so sad I didn’t read more of your writing since WOP. Always a blast! Have you thought about getting into screenplay writing? This is amazing

Your sense of humor must have turned that never ever lunch into a dinner :)

"Sorry, bank robbery. Raincheck?"
The stories you will come up with to avoid a Zoom call with me?!
I would rob a bank to read more of your Solo Lunch Musings

"I have to go buy a punching bag or my friend’s car’s on fire" -- bahahaha. Love the fun and thoughts fused together in this!
