Chapter 2
A sudden change in the lights messed with my vision, wide-eyed I entered the club. My ears too had to adjust to the abrupt transition of volume, lights covered the walls, while the music lead the conversations of clumps of people. I had a good feeling being surrounded by the positive energy. I was greeted by many new faces, accents here and there, no one here seemed have a care in the world. Everyone somehow and someway knew each other. Although, I kept a constant smile, I still felt like a fish out of water, I walked straight into something so lively, alone. I wish I knew more people, all of this made me realize what I spend my time doing. What do I like? Where do I belong? So many personalities, makes me wonder, who are they? What makes me so different from them? I know I don’t come here often, maybe I should. I was so conflicted, yet I was enjoying myself, the more I explored, the more my curiosity grew. I felt like I needed to sit, collect myself together, get a drink or two, and I also didn’t want to seem like some sort of bear-cat. I worried too much about what I looked like to people, and how I presented myself. In the corner of my eye, I noticed a guy, openly trying to grab my attention. I wanted to be alone for the night, but in a crowd. I wanted to put myself out there, as I sat here in my thoughts, I decided.
