Recently I was at an event and I felt awkward, like being on a first date. Remember that feeling? Do I fit in? Can I be myself? Am I trying to be something I’m not?

I had that uncomfortable feeling where you wonder if you’ve done wrong. I’m sorry, but I really don’t remember if I did. Maybe it’s nothing. Ay!

Do I just ask the person? If the friendship is important enough (which it is), it’d be good to ask. I think I will. I don’t want to let this just sit there.

It’s no fun feeling awkward, even as an adult.
