At first I \*really\* did not want to go. I've always been very socially anxious, and I have this perpetual fear that I'll let people down and disappoint them if I see them in person. Of course I feel the same way if I don't go and see them, so usually I'm screwed either way. But not today baby!!

I am pumped to go. I've known my friend for years, and honestly I find it hard to hold onto friendships that long. There's like maybe 5 people I would consider my friends, and I love them all to bits. Anyway, I digress.

I'm going all out for her. (reasonably and responsibly, of course.) I'm going to get her flowers with her favorite colors, a card, and an Amazon gift certificate! I miss her so freaking much. Because of COVID we've hardly talked lately. I was so thrilled when she invited me. It's going to be a great time. I love this girl like she's my sister, and I'm so psyched to hang out with her again!

Disclaimer: we're both immunized against COVID, it's gonna be a small gathering, it's legal where I am, I'll self isolate afterwards, yaddah yaddah.
