this week was nice. and you know why it was so nice? i met new people, that's why. i met new people and it wasn't weird. it wasn't scary. i wasn't pushed past my social limit, left exhausted each night. it was FUN. it was EXCITING. they like me, they accepted me, they made me feel welcome. that was so nice. beyond nice...it was the best thing ever. they made me feel like a nice, good person. i never realized how much i really needed that.
