One thing that's always fascinated me is the social structures that we are all a part of. The things that we don't say to one another but think, and somehow we all know that we are all thinking.
Lately in my own life, i've been a lot more social. This has been a result of me being more confident in myself and having more self-confidence. I used to be a massive recluse because i was just so scared socially of other people. Nowadays i think because i've matured SO much, people aren't really that much of a great mystery to me anymore. I've become so much more friendly and warm because that's just what makes me feel good and others feel good as well. I think that the thing that's helped me most socially is the fact that i feel more centered with who i am. There comes a point where we all kind of settle down with who we are and we stop struggling so much to be other people. I think i've reached that point. It's the best thing that's kind of ever happened to me.

The other night, i went to my friends party that she held as a welcoming thing for her other friend from overseas. It was one of the best nights ever. I know i say that about every single thing i go to where i get drunk and start dancing but this was truly amazing. It was just magical because there was this point in the night where everyone was just going wild and i wasn't scared about introducing myself to people and grabbing perfect randoms who looked like they were a bit nervous to go wild and making them dance with me ( hahaha ). I can't help but wanting the party to go on when everyone's too tired to continue, but i'm OK with that now. I used to be embarrassed by it more, but not as much these days. That was a great party and i was so glad that i was personally invited to go.
