“My worst day in a while turned into my best day in a while today – this was the first time I made a conscious choice to “fight back” whenever I went down the road of trying to figure out what other people thought of me. While there were definitely a lot of rough spots, that was the most fun I’ve possibly ever had with people I didn’t know well, and I didn’t have to fight nearly as hard at the end of the night and just sort of had fun. I also fessed up to what happened today, and was very surprised by the complete absence of shit given by everyone. People literally just laughed it off and moved on.

Thank you for the prod to be honest. I feel infinitely less conflicted now.”
