My weekend turned out to be unexpectedly fun!
Started chill by doing the 6-mile walk home along the lake.
Hung out with Mercy for the first time since graduation on Saturday. We went to brunch and the Field Museum. I don't think I've been for at least 10 years.
On Sunday, I wanted to check out a guy's photo exhibition in Hyde Park and looked up an old friend who lives in the area. She invited another and another mini-reunion was had.
Being with people somehow makes me feel so much better. Less anxious about life, about everything, a little more inspired. I feel like we're all in the same place and I'm less alone and flaily, which is how I feel around people I don't really know, I guess. Connections are great.
On my way to the gym today I ran into a college friend(?) I had been dreading meeting for a while. I could have let her pass by, but I felt like it meant something for this to happen today. I spent my weekend reconnecting with people I hadn't seen for 5-8 years, why not? It was okay.
I have high hopes again, maybe, kind of.
