Outside the Bubble

Spent the afternoon outside the proverbial bubble, hanging out with two friends I had through middle school and high school. It helped me realise a few things.

Maybe I don't have a masters yet.
Maybe I haven't experienced a passionate romance.
Maybe I don't have a job yet.
And maybe I still live with my parents.
But you know what?

My outlook on life is not bleak. I have not been burned emotionally. I am not overly cynical. I have dreams and purpose and intellectual stimulation. I have had jobs and experiences that have brought me joy. I have friends that see into my soul and who speak into it as well. I still believe in love. And I love life. I really do.

It's good to break outside the bubble! And, it's also good to see old friends, and reminisce, and laugh. I hope we do it more.
