go out more

The other day I went to the shopping centre and walked around by myself went in a clothing store then tried on clothes for like an hour.I have never ever done that.Being byself gives me time to think and breathe.I like to be around people but I just need to be by myself at times.Especially if I am walking all I do is pop in my headphones then that allows me to reflect.

Great… I got punished because my room is in mess… Now my parents won’t let me go out for two weeks! Grrr…

...but have slowed down a lot lately. Other than a trip to the store, or to run errands, I haven’t been out much. I have people in my life who do their best to get me out and about regularly, and I have been following their lead up until now.

Starting to fall into a rut, and now looking for ways to pull myself out and move along.

I used to go out out all the time, but lately my old hang out buddies ask me where I’m hiding all the time. I’m being introverted, but I miss the scene and want to jump back in it- with one change- more genuine fun, and less going through the motions

wasn’t awful, wasn’t great either and only proved to me how wierd I am. I was the wierdest of all people without even being drunk!

it was a meeting with people from a web forum, and i only knew 1 person from before but I decided to go anyhow and I’m glad I did. It was fun and I talked to a lot of people and enjoyd the sun :-)

...and going out for walks during the day. So far, so good. Now to plan what I will do next.

I work nights, so it’s pretty depressing to wake up after a long shift and realize it’s already 8pm and where did my day go? Now I’m trying to leave the house once every day, even if it’s just to go to the mall and window shop for an hour. I’m calling up people I haven’t seen in a while and planning outings for the days I’m off so that I’ll be forced to get up early (3pm sound good?) I can sleep anytime, but the rest of the world is only up during daylight hours so i don’t want to miss life.

When I first added this to my list of things, I was thinking about recreation. But the more I thought about it, I realize that I should be going out more period. For a walk, window shopping, the library, etc. Now that the weather is warm here, I’ve been heading outside more often. Hoping to keep that up.

I am definitely not sociable enough.
We had two weeks off for easter, and I’ve spent nearly every day at home.
I’m not confident enough to go out by myself, so I’ll ask my friends if they want to go anywhere.
The problem is: where to go and what to do!
maybe jogging…...
