49.Do you got the motivation to get out of SA? and to do ''more'' social stuff?
Sometimes I do things in public that are out of the ordinary for me, but nothing social. I would try to do more things if I didn't have to do everything alone.

Being at home, in my room, alone, especially late at night (pretty much the same answer I gave to an earlier question lol)
