Last night was .. magical-ish.
A while ago I decided to keep up trying new things alone and a few weeks ago I found tickets to a ballet. Something I’ve always wanted to do.
Without hesitation, I bought tickets. To two different ballets.
Last night was the first.
I got up yesterday morning, did my nails, cleaned up a bit, got dolled up and headed out. Thought I was nervous for this new experience, I was so excited.
My gut told me to get ready early and head out for a drink before hand, so I just followed my intuition!
Ended up at a bar of a restaurant I go to often and met 2 wonderful and hilarious women who I hung out with during my short time there. Then got to see a very good looking individual working there.
Something about this person had me staring hard and after a cosmo I wrote my number down. The ladies ended up passing my number to this person as I hauled ass out before it was passed on lol. I mean, I walked pretty damn fast in this heels hahaha.
I made it to the theatre hall when I hear from the girls telling me they did it and I better invite them to the wedding. Of course I’m hysterical laughing and having a mini panic moment over it.
I don’t think I’ve ever done that before but f it! Life is short and long and all sorts of crazy.. why not be courageous.
Then I get a text from them. Hilarious text at that (fantastic way to start).
Then I met the lady sitting next to me at the ballet. Much younger and we laughed, had a great time keeping each other company!
It all filled my soul.
At one moment while watching the performance I stopped and just felt full of joy. Peaceful, genuine, light kind of joy. I felt happy and full.
Starving I decide to leave a bit early , it was a very long performance, when this individual earned to meet up.
So we met up and had our first date.
It was a great time. It really was. One of my favorite dates.
Moral of the story… God rewards the brave.
Everything about last night required courage from me, maybe to others it wouldn’t, but for me it required courage. your courage doesn’t have to look like mine and my courageous moments doesn’t have to match anyone else’s but taking leaps of faith always have an outcome. Some may be crappy and some may be extraordinary but the outcomes from courageous moments always shifts life. Little by little these courageous moments build a memory book and stories.
One day, I will be telling my grand babies stories and they all will be from moments where I decided to be courageous and take leaps.
Whether something comes out of it or not, meeting this individual last night was very unexpectedly magical. God rewards the brave.. my reward just happened to be a night to remember, new people & a feeling of pride within myself for stepping out of my comfort zone.
