Lonely to Lovely

Monday I wasn't feeling so hot, but I tried to make the best of it. I thought it would pass.Tuesday I didn't feel much better.Be it pms, the moon phase, 9.11 memories, too many work loops left open, feeling a bit too tired to deal with other people's energy - whatever. It was crap. I knew it was OK, but I couldn't shake it off either.As I wasted time Tuesday morning on Instagram, I saw a friend post a few pages from the creative book Steal Like An Artist. I commented:

Omg yes! I may need to borrow. Or we should have coffee / creative book swap time.

As soon as I wrote that, I felt excited. That's exactly what I needed! Creative, coffee, friend time. I was lonely! Miss loves-alone-time wanted company. Who knew?So I texted said this gal for a coffee date. It felt odd, putting myself out there. Like I was 12 years old - come out and play? We've gotten coffee before but we're not, like, friends friends. I know her through work, and from college, but at the same time I've never been to her apartment...Magically, she texted back she could hang after work. My mood soared. I felt motivated to do my work. I had something to look forward to. And being that I'm not seeing my therapist this week, it was 100% what I needed.I've mentioned before, but deep conversation is part of the things that make me feel complete. So this hang totally hit the spot. And that night H and I went out for Yogurtland and by Wednesday morning, I was a new person. Or back to normal. However we can celebrate it.Did I mention my friend is pretty f-ing talented too? Check her out.
