So i visited furry friends for the first time
8 years ago
And it was awesome to say the least!
In short,
dino.d.dice and
chubbylizard, one of the few fellow dutch fatfur artists i know, wanted to chill with each other for a week away from home, and because their temporary place was pretty close to where i live, to my luck, they decided to invite me over!
Since i expected their vacation to be mostly for them i didn't plan on staying too long, i came over from Tuesday morning until Thursday afternoon, and dang, i didn't at all expect it to be THIS much fun.
I was understandably pretty nervous during the train ride as i was gonna meet two friends i've known for a while now IRL all of a sudden, when we did meet i was still a bit shaky but once i got settled it was great, i got to play Mario Kart on the Switch for the first time, we did art together, we watched movies, we ate (obviously), we laughed, all that good stuff.
I consider myself to be a pretty anxious person, and i don't leave the house much except for a daily walk and maybe shopping, and staying two nights at a new place with two ''new'' people is quite a long stretch for me, but i was amazed at how easily i was able to get comfortable around those two, it's extremely rare i get to be myself to the full extent and not fake or hide anything, we even talked about our problems which i really enjoyed believe it or not, about how i'm nervous to go to college in September, and despite that the atmosphere was still warm and understanding.
Today was my last day there unfortunately, if i had known i would have enjoyed it THIS much i would've planned on staying there the whole week, but due to driving lessons and dietitians appointments i simply had to leave, and after two big bear hugs on the train station i headed back home, making for one heck of an emotional train ride, heh.
It's not usual i post journals like these, but i felt like i just had to get it out there, in my last journal i documented some bad experiences, but now it's time to make way for a really good one which i'm incredibly grateful for, and as i finally go to college in a couple weeks, thinking about the next time we'll meet again makes every day just a little better~
Thank you for reading!
