As a chronic planner who needs to have things laid out AT LEAST a week beforehand, sometimes you need to let go of scheduling and say yes to going out and hanging with friends.
Yeah driving an hour both ways with people I kinda know to go on a lake just did not sound good to me.. Cancelling is hard and kinda requires some sucking it up but I think I feel better not going through with it.
some people go their whole lives without experiencing something they want to do or allowing themselves to try something. the rules are made up. you are not too old for anything
