There Was Karaoke At Friday's Last Night

I went to therapy today. And accomplished nothing. However, I did feel good about myself on my drive back to the office. Not inflated a la bipolar disorder but good. Self confident. Really liking myself for a bit. I think I'm just feeling too tired to think negative.

I had a blast last night catching up with one of my classmates from last semester. There were originally supposed to be four of us. It only turned out to be two. We did so much talking, we could have gone all night long if I didn't remind myself I had to be in work in the morning. So much fun. Four glasses of wine and some laughter mixed with serious stuff. Haven't had a night talking with anyone like that in a while. It was good for me. She's got a bunch of tough stuff on her plate. I hope I was able to help a bit. I just kept reminding her that she's worth more than she thinks. And she's a better person than some of her behaviors. But... don't we all do that sometimes? We start behaving in ways that are uncomplimentary because we believe that we're not better than that.

I know I do. Way too often.

As she and I were leaving there was a definite temptation. Watching all the young ones enjoy their night out. Singing karaoke and getting together in crowds, it was reminisent of a time gone by. Kind of miss those carefree nights out drinking with friends. We contemplated staying out and "painting the town red". But, times change... people change... all part of growing I guess.
