A few days ago, I went to a Spouse to Spouse meeting. It's a place for army wives to meet and get to know each other. Being brand new to military life and this duty station, I knew that it was pretty important that I go.
However, my nerves were almost unbearable that day.
I'm from a small town where everybody knows everybody. I've never had to put myself out there and meet new people. I was so self-conscious and nervous that I almost didn't go. Thank goodness Kristopher gave me the push that I needed. So I went.
While I was there, I met a girl that is in the almost identical situation that I am. We bonded instantly and for the past 3 days, we've been inseparable and we've also been texting each other when we're not around. I feel so relieved that I made a new friend and I'm so grateful that I went to the meeting, even though I was afraid.
I guess facing your fears isn't so bad.
