Meeting my friends in Canada
Friends and acquaintances are people who
make life interesting, fun, and less lonely. I am getting together with more
friends lately. But socializing is hard for me. I am very shy. I want to be
more outgoing and friendly. Learning to face my fears of embarrassment is hard.
I make impulsive moves practically all the time. Learning to control my body to
do things purposely is so much work and energy consuming. I care to keep facing
my social anxiety so I can have friends.
Friends care for each other. Making
friends is life-making by giving me other people to learn from and really care
about. Life would be boring without
people to hang out with. I am going to teach myself to be less shy so I can
enjoy meaningful friendships. I like when I can talk with my friends. I love peaceful
conversations. Beautiful, cool, autistic people make my life delightful. I have
practice being social now. Making friends is now a possibility. I hope to be a
good friend too.
Last weekend I went to Canada to meet
new friends. Meeting Fox, Brayden, and Ryan was pretty special. I got to meet
other kids who do RPM and blog. My friend Kaylie was there too. At one time, we
all sat in a circle talking to each other on our letterboards and iPads. It was
awesome. I never thought I would be a part of a big group of friends. I am
meaning to keep these friendships. I hope to get together with them again soon.
I was happy hiking with Fox and his
family. We peacefully hiked a trail down to the creek. The creek was cool. I
waded my feet. Fox went in all the way. We hiked back. I got to walk on big
fallen logs. My day was almost perfect. I only wish my dad was there, but he
was home sick that day.
I am happy I now have friends. Making
friends is hard work but making friends is worthwhile. My life is much better
with friends.
