revive my social life

I can safely say that the hermitude is over. I’m making an effort to get out of the house several times a week with friends.

I needed a week or so to mope when my relationship ended, and now what I need is to get out, keep busy, rock out, mingle, talk, etc. The fact that some of my guy friends are pretty damn good looking doesn’t hurt either…

Ah, I’m so predictable. ;)

Well I’ve just been quite the little social butterfly lately. This weekend I had a massive Friday night (erm, refer to drunken post below), and went out for dinner at a friend’s last night. And tonite it’s dinner with my boyfriend’s family. Last week I went out for coffee with friends a couple of times as well. I also seem to have heaps of social plans coming up, so this goal is DONE! Woohoo go me :)

It is 2am and i am completely drunk and have had the most WONDERFULLLY funny nite. What a social life it is…. feel so alive. Groggy, full of love, yet alive. Enjy everyone, I love you immenawly

Today I met up with 2 friends…..planning on seeing one of my friends on the weekend and going out for another’s 21st next week! This goal is going well!

I’ve been really down this week – I haven’t been sad like that for a long time and it really freaked me out. I really think that it has to do with my crazy hormones since going off the contraceptive pill….whatever it was it was terrible, but it got me thinking about this goal. Even though I didn’t really feel like reaching out, it reminded me how precious my friends are and it was comforting just to know that there were people who I could call and cry to if I needed to.
But this weekend I’ve had so much fun catching up with people. On Saturday I had lunch with one of my best friends. It was nice talking to her about how I’ve been feeling – it really made me feel better. Then my parents and grandparents visited on their way back from the airport. Saturday night we went out for drinks with a big group of Damian’s friends and I had the best time! Sometimes I get nervous around his friends, but I really enjoyed myself and made some new friends too. It’s been a good weekend, and it’s felt good to be more sociable :)

........my old flatmate who I haven’t seen in over a year! It was wonderful, we met up in the gorgeous little coffee shop (you’d love it scott!) and it felt good to reconnect. She is going through a bit of a tough phase and hopefully I helped her out with it. She also inspired me to start doing art again and reminded me that it is important to have other people around to inspire me to be a better person. Tonight we had our dinner party which was wonderful. I also called one of my very best friends in the world and caught up on what’s been happening in her life. This goal is going well :)

....with spending time with friends over the holidays. But I’m becoming increasingly aware that it is just as important for me to have sociable time and it is to have ‘me’ time. So I’m making a much bigger effort to see the people I love more often. Generally I am the kind of person who does like doing things alone, and having quiet time – but I do also love having fun with my friends. This is all about finding balance I suppose :) So tomorrow I am meeting my old flatmate for coffee and we are having friends over for dinner. On Sunday I am going to a book fair with my best friend and her boyfriend. It feels great to have things organised!
