Today was… interesting. If I had to sum it up, I’d say most of the day was just “blah.” Work didn’t bring much excitement. But the evening? Now that was different, and in the best way possible.
I made a friend today!
I know for most people, that might not sound like a big deal, but to me, it really is. Making friends has never been easy for me. I struggle with keeping them too—I guess I’ve always assumed it was just me being “the crazy, unstable one.” For whatever reason, friendships tend to come and go in my life, and I don’t usually get to experience what it’s like to have people to hang out with regularly.
But today felt different. We went out for dinner together, and honestly, it was so refreshing. It felt… normal. And I don’t usually feel like that! I don’t typically go out with people, so to actually do something social was like stepping into this world I’ve only watched from the outside.
What’s wild is how much I enjoyed that feeling of just being. We laughed, shared stories, and just talked like regular people do. There was something oddly comforting about it, like I was part of something. It reminded me of what I miss sometimes—not just having a friend, but feeling like I’m in sync with the world around me.
I’m hoping this new friendship lasts because I’d love to feel that kind of connection more often. For now, I’m grateful for today, and for a little slice of “normal” in my life.
