    Friday night, I had two choices to make. Stay in and watch the newest season of Sex Education or GO OUT. Once that choice would've been pretty simple. Now it's harder, my anxiety acts up, and being in London with not knowing many people is also pretty intense. I bit the bullet and said YES! So I ventured out to Shoreditch meeting a group of gals from a Facebook group.   

    If you have ever been in a situation like this, my advice is to go for it. Don't let fear, anxiety, or doubt hold you back from a night out. It can be scary not knowing the plan. Just do it! I did and I have to say the events were pretty great.

Friday Night consisted of a great group of gals all in the same predicament. Lots of people feel nervous when going out alone. Two for one at the bar and meeting some pretty great people. The girls were fun and made me feel welcomed and accepted. We danced, laughed, and drank. There was no judgment, instead only support. Overall I'm glad I didn't stay in. I am proud of going out, and having a night out. 

Advice:

If you are new to an area, reach out to Facebook groups. Say yes to the opportunity! Allow yourself to just LIVE! Don't sit on the sidelines, play the game!
