Going Out
Something that has been really missing in my life lately has been: going out and making friends.
I’m stuck in this big city, and I have 0 friends.
I’m going to be stuck there for many more months, so I decided to go out, meet friends…
I created a Beeminder goal: go_out.
For it to be satisfied, I need to do one of the followings:
- Meet a friend
- Go to a meetup
- Go on a date with myself, like visiting a monument or something
So yesterday, I went to a Starbucks and talked with someone I met a while ago.
Tomorrow, I’ll go to a meetup of people speaking the same language as me.
I don’t think this is helping my productivity in general, but it does help me feel better about myself. I’m taking more care about my looks, and I feel more confident taking calls for work.
It’s also a good ways to find opportunities; sometimes, luck brings new business ideas and such.
It feels good to meet new people. I’ve been mainly just talking with my girlfriend for so many months now. Only her. I think it’s good to speak to other people for the relationship, but I’m not sure how to articulate why.
Cheers
