I’ve been invited to a girls night. They’re making dinner and watching trash tv which are two of my favorite things to do.  

I’m excited at the possibility of making new friends but am nervous of how they’ll feel about me. First things to come to mind are: am I smart enough, pretty enough, funny enough to deserve friendship? Will they think I’m fat, did she invite me out of pity? 

My brain is spinning and the tears are forming. I know that these fears are irrational. 

Its tonight so how do I chill out enough to have fun?
