Selling 18-55mm for 35mm f2

I am currently thinking about selling my 18-55mm kit lens to pay for a 35mm f2. I don't have any other lens.

I recently bought a Fuji X70 and realize that I stopped using my Fuji XT1 with 18-55mm combo. Size, weight and everything. I am a girl - I can finally use small handbags since I bought the X70!

I want to pick up my XT1 again and pair it with a good prime lens. I have never used prime lens before except my X70 which is fixed at 18mm made me realize that I can use my legs. (I know.. lol)

Also noticed that the contrast and saturation on 35mm (the general feel of it) is better than the zoom lens based on sample pics.

Am I making a right decision here? Or what thoughts you guys have?

My cameras are mainly for social events, friends, hangout, food, travel, general purpose. I am just a hobbyist.

I weighed between both 35mm f1.4 and f2 and decided to go for the f2... Thoughts?
