Something New

To any and all of you who came out Saturday night, thank you so much. Every time I go out, almost literally every time, at some point in the evening I hit a wall. I stop enjoying myself. I realise I'm alone in a crowd. I want to crawl away and die.

But not this time.

For once, I had a fantastic time the entire night. There were disappointments such as the birthday girl not being able to make it, but even that paled in comparison to being truly happy. I smiled, and it wasn't just a brave face. It wasn't to mask the real emotion inside.

I couldn't have stopped smiling if I tried.
