After a long day of watch shopping, studying for school, and reading the "going out alone" thread, I have this feeling like I'm doing it all wrong.
Does everyone know the feeling, where you look back and go "shoot, I should have done this, this, etc...?" Reminds me of this quote, the last part especially:
"Just remember, the same as a spectacular Vogue magazine, remember that no matter how close you follow the jumps: Continued on page whatever. No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice. None of this matters. We're just warming up."
For some reason, I always revert back to the things I do alone vs. calling up people and seeing if they want to do something...maybe I just don't see the point in hanging out unless you have something new or interesting planned ahead of time. One more year of college, and that fallen heart feeling is all too familiar.
