Coming into 2017 I told myself that I would break out of my shell when it comes to attending different social events. Typically, the extent of socializing in a group setting for me would be myself and a group of my friends that all know each other with maybe one or two individuals who I am not that close with. But, with the determination and peer pressure applied per my friends who don't have any issues with socializing in large group settings, I have learned to slowly chip away at the anti-social shell that I sometimes blockade myself within.
December 21, or this past Friday, I was invited on a trip to D.C. with a couple friends to see Don Fredrick play at a local bar. No prior planning was made and no adjustments were accounted for, as this was a last minute trip for myself and probably others. The normal LJ would have declined due to the ambiguities that lie inside of a non-well thought process. Instead, not so normal aka socialable LJ decided to go and he had a blast (sorry for talking in third person right there). Maybe it's only me who thinks that they have this outer shell that they still need to break out of to reach their full potential, or maybe I am overthinking it like I do with 98 percent of my life. Only time will tell!
I stopped writing this blog post right before I went to bed I think 2 nights ago, and now it's Christmas Eve! An acquaintance of mine threw a Christmas party at her crib and it turned out to be a lot better than I expected for reasons I choose to keep to myself (lol). The holidays are such a trying, yet rewarding time of the year.
