I'm feeling pretty good today.
I went to get a haircut and for some unknown reason I was able to muster some confidence. I sat there and looked in the mirror and I saw someone else. Gone was the guy who was unable to look at anything but the floor, or had watery eyes because he was always on the verge of crying, or had sweat beading on his forehead. He had been replaced with the real me, even with a bit of a smile on my face.
I was even able to talk to this attractive girl who was cutting my hair. We talked about the motorcycle I was rebuilding and she insisted that I ride it there to show her next time I get my hair cut. She asked if I had gone to this one concert that happened last week that I had planned on going to but I couldn't find anyone to go with me. Turns out the same thing had happened to her. I almost think this girl was into me. Maybe it was a bit of hint that she's single when she said she didn't have anyone to go to the concert with.
Once in a while I have these days without anxiety. I hope this feeling doesn't go away.
