All on my own. All in fear that I'd be rejected. All _incredibly_ awkward.<BR/><BR/>I've had to go through the awkward phase of inviting strangers over for dinner. I've had odd conversations where I know that both members wanted to leave as soon as they possibly could.<BR/><BR/>It's really, really painful to make new friends and have your dear ones far away. Never think that I don't know that. I'm just not going through it right now like you are. And honestly, it's probably harder for you than for me, because of our personalities and situations.<BR/><BR/>I'm praying for you, bud. I have every confidence that you can charm the pants off people. The thing is that you have to be willing to practice. It's like stretching your muscles every day--eventually you'll be able to do more than just touch your toes... splits, wild kicks in the air, and more.<BR/><BR/>I hereby assign you a daily routine of "relational stretching."<BR/><BR/>I love you.jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004550920841504035noreply@blogger.com
