today i ate lunch with new friends, people i barely know… we sat in our booth for two hours, laughing over onion rings and french fries. i’m glad i’m not as socially inept as i think i am, haha! (remember, beware of false narratives.)
hi, i’m raeann. what’s your name? how are you? i’m glad you say you’re good (though there is no telling if you actually are…) what cca are you in? that’s cool! i’m in art club. what’s your subject combination? oh, i’m taking helm too. do you do anything outside of school? i hope i get to know you better over the next two years…

the conversation always starts like this, but somehow (i’m hoping) the small talk works.
i’ll give everyone (and myself) a chance.
