So yesterday, I did something out of character.

At the climbing gym, I just cold approached a guy and asked if he was interested in being a climbing partner. He looked like he was alone too and so I thought I'd just go up and ask him.

Got to know him a bit and now we'll be climbing every week. I was friendly and open and took the initiative to go and just talk to someone. I have another climbing partner for a different day of the week and so now I have made 2 friendships. They center around climbing but it's something.

I am going to be more bold and start being more out in the world. Part of me being more vulnerable and open has to translate into action in the outside world. I am taking small steps but I want to meet people and make friendships. I choose to be more social and open.


No one is coming to save you!
