Laundry Day
Somewhere along the line, I have no idea when, I became social. I really, really like it. I like having lunch with a different person every day of the week and hanging around chatting until I absolutely have to leave (or, more likely, when they do) every single time. I like having plans every weekend. I like having a bunch of random people who I can chill with when I want to.
And the best part about it is being alone. I used to hate being alone, because I never felt like I was doing it on purpose. I always felt like, when I had no one to hang out with, I was somehow failing at something. But now? Alone isn't really lonely anymore. It's something I actually want some of the time, instead of something I have to do cause I'm a failure.
Today I went to my classes, had my coffee at Starbucks, ate lunch with Melissa at Tin Drum (just like every Wednesday), chatted with the cashier at the Shell station, chilled with D'metria for an hour, did my laundry with Michelle, helped her get ready for her date, talked to Nicole on the phone, and watched a movie by myself.
Just another day.
But that made it amazing.
