I Enjoy Quiet Time Alone
...But they got me to come out.
I’ve been working long hours away from home this week, even on Saturday. I got invited by the group I’ve bern working with to go to dinner. I saw the group text. I talked myself out of going. So many people. The cute girl putting it together surely only invited me to be polite. Not my scene. The meeting time passed as I was sitting in my room and I started to feel a little guilty for not going, but I was like “too late now.”
Then my phone beeped. The organizer texted me. “Are you coming?”
Yes.
Yes, I was coming. I texted her back “See you in 10 minutes.” That text was like a bolt of lightning. And when I got there, an open seat was waiting right by that cute girl.
I’m glad I went. It was a good time and nice company. Everything I said to talk myself out of it was wrong. Sometimes I need to say “Yes.”
