I experienced that feeling in May, when my vacation was going on. The only difference being I had talked to some of the people online through FaceBook.
The group I'm in is for people who like Korean music (which I am a fan off) and meet once or twice a month at different places. This time the meet was far away from my place and I had to hitch a ride to get there, but I attended it.
When I reached the place, I was apprehensive. I mean, sure I talked to to them occasionally online but a face-to-face meeting is different. However, when I did find them at the food court of the mall, I realised the feeling was completely irrational.
It was as though the group of us picked up where our online conversations dropped off. We talked, teased, laughed and had fun as thigh we'd known each other ages and not minutes.
And the best part of it was, they asked me about things other than the music and honestly, that's the first time since the move that I've felt completely at ease.
Sure, I have friends at school (no matter how limited in number) but at school, my guard is constantly up. Who knows what my classmates and a couple other close-minded people there are planning for me?
So feeling safe and happy, for the first time since my move in 2009 (with people outside my family) is something I really loved ^^. And the best part, from now on the meetings are at a closer place and more frequently. I'm glad since that's the only place I'll get to meet my new friends^^.
Ciao for now ☺💋
