you used to say that you're just fine, but I still wonder all the time

Went to a charity event tonight. $40 for entry to a club, dinner, and a drink. Couldn't convince any friends to come, so I went by myself seeking adventure. Well, it wasn't the adventure I hoped it would be; I lasted about 30 minutes, spent an additional $14 somehow, and didn't even get the free dinner! Mostly, I was too worried/nervous to start a conversation with strangers. Ended up just downing a few drinks and taking off. Makes me wonder why I left all my friends back home. Makes me wonder why I ever ended relationships that were going so well.

I'm older now. Still young, still full of life, and still hopelessly optimistic. I think I need to do more charity events, but not the ones where you pay and drink, the ones where you put forth time and effort towards helping others. Maybe then I'll meet some people I can really relate to.

I had a nightmare the other night. Unlike anything before, and absolutely terrifying. I think it was my conscience, telling me I need to figure shit out, and get things straight.

Lately I feel like life is one big balancing act. Moderation, in every aspect, remains elusive.
