But still not strong enough…

New challenges are always a bit scary, at first. The unknown makes us think about too many questions. I think you will be fine, maybe after the first day. Sorry that the meeting didn’t happen. Maybe the day or time was changed? Don’t worry too much. You are certainly NOT stupid or pitiful. 🙂 *HUGS*

RYN: I re-read what you wrote and what you noted me and now I understand. I’m sorry you had a feeling of being scared. You know what, though? Feeling nervous about something new is natural and it will happen, from time to time. I get nervous about meeting new people, too. Just happened last week when I met another diarist in person. Sometimes, you have to talk to yourself and – howwould you say – psyche yourself up beforehand. Play your favorite music before you go to something that is making you anxious, like this meeting did. Something to distract you, to take your mind off of being worried. In the long run, if you are exposed to these opportunities enough, you will get past them and they will not bother you so much. You will make new friends at this school, I know it. The thought of being alone is there for you, I get that. But, I know you will not be alone. You will make friends and, better still! People will want to be friends with you, too. You are a very likeable person when people come to know you. Just go and be who you are. They will gravitate to your amazingness. 😉

RYN: I think I felt that biggest hug ever all the way over here! Thank you for putting the biggest smile on my face that I’ve had in a while. Glad to give you the support I do. 🙂
