Tomorrow I am going to see my dear friend Kim for the first time in over a year.
Man, I can’t tell you how much I’ve been looking forward to this.
I usually manage pretty well not having any of my close girlfriends near by, but every once in a while it’s nice to be around someone who knows you very well and you can just be yourself and enjoy the good company.
Meeting new people is always fun, but it’s also a little exhausting at times, because you can’t really let go of your facade completely. You try to fit yourself into a personality that you think your vis-á-vis will like.
It’s not that I think that I am not likable as the person that I am, but you know how it is with new people when everybody is checking everybody else out.
This awkwardness won’t exist in the next couple of days. At least not for me and Kim and I really hope we’ll get some “girl time”, but I am also very excited to finally (!) meet her boyfriend C as well :) I think it’s about time!
