I’ve been in my new city for about 9 months. I’ve made one acquaintance through a local Astrology organization whose event I attended. I must say, I had a great time at this event! I have even started volunteering for the organization. There is more work to be done, though.
As an introvert, it’s really hard to put myself out there… but I really have to do it, or I’ll be lonely for the rest of my days. I love my friends that I already have, but what is a girl to do when they are literally 1,000 miles away? Make friends where I reside, that’s the answer!
So, I decided to go to an event in my city… at a club. Where I have to talk and dance around people I barely know, my worst nightmare. Again, I am an introvert, maybe even borderline socially anxious. But I told myself I would do it, so I have to. I’m going through my Saturn return; I refuse to deny any lessons thrown at me. It’s time to grow baby!
I came across an Instagram Reel promoting the event. There are going to be pole dancers, chart readings, and aura readings. Not only that, they mentioned a theme for the event. If you know me, you know this is right up my ally. I was so excited when I saw the promo for this event. SO EXCITED, I barely thought about it and just immediately bought my ticket. I also missed the last event that was hosted by this person and it looked so fun.
Of course, I had a sense of dread after buying the ticket I will have to go to this event alone. At this point, I’ve put myself in a position where I will have to socialize and dance with strangers, but I had it in my mind that this will heal me somehow and I will hopefully make some connections.
So, this is how it went…
Really, I don’t have much to say other than a time was had! The entertainment was amazing, the dancing was amazing, there was good music. They had body art, aura readings, astrology readings… just a lot of cool stuff.
I met a few people, got their Instagram’s, and even hung out with them again the following week and weekend. I feel like something changed in me this night. I’m starting open up more and very slowly but surely feel myself opening up to people more. I am happy for that.
