Come as you are

New thing today, went to a friend's party as I was. Not that I don't usually show up to things as a different person, but some part of me always wants to impress people. I'm usually anxious before going to social events because I have this weird expectation of how things will be. I dread it because of the energy it takes to be there and be social sometimes. Anyway this time I just went. No expectations, no trying to impress, just a mindset of being more comfortable in my own skin and trusting my friends will like me just fine as I am with nothing exciting, witty or impressive going on. And it was good and I had a fun time and all was well.

I don't know how to explain it, but this is a first. To go to a social occasion and just be, instead of trying to be. Night folks.
