This past couple of weeks I have been extremely social.
Which for people that "know" me, this seems like nothing out of the ordinary.
My personality is inviting, bright, and outgoing.
So, one would assume that I like going out with friends and having a good time all the time.
LOL, no.
Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy spending time with my friends dearly, but no more than I enjoy my alone time watching Bluebloods with my furry children.
On several occasions I have spent my Friday night curled up with a book, ignoring the 10 text from my friend that I was suppose to be going out with.
It's not that I don't want to spend time with her,
I just don't want to put my effort into getting ready to just go and wish I was back in my bed.
But, then there are times I enjoy myself so much when I go out that I dance the night away.
That night- I smile, laugh uncontrollably, fix my lipstick one to many times.
That next morning- I drink my coffee, lay in my robe in bed, catch up on reading, and embrace my bedhead and naked face.
Sometimes I go days without talking to anyone but my fiance.
I just don't feel the need to reach out to people weekly.
I am content on my own.
But, then there are times when reaching out to a friend makes a whole worlds difference in my mood.
Sometimes all I need is a coffee date with myself.
Other times I need a girls night out.
I'm a social butterfly.
I'm a hermit.
And that's okay.
