Sometimes I think life is really unpredictable. I never thought I will be invited to a friend's birthday party who I just met two weeks ago. I started meeting new people since I got notice from company that I was fired. And this girl I contacted her on social media, I saw her post that she wanted to connect people, and she happily accepted my friend request and asked for a coffee chat, didn't even ask me other questions. I saw so many posts on the social media trying to connect other people with certain conditions, must work in some specific area or have some talents and etc.. This girl just purely wanted to connect with people. We decided to meet in a cafe and we talked more than two hours first time we met and I feel we have been knowing each other for a longtime.

And today surprisingly all the people she invited(except her roommates) were people she met only once or twice all of them found her on the social media because of that post. Another interesting thing is, we all first time met each other today, I didn't feel any uncomfortable talking with them. We had a great time we talked 4 hours this time from 5pm-9pm without stop. We talked about work, relationship, basicly anything. Something quite private, but I don't feel anything I can't tell with them. Everyone is honest and open.

My friend also did fortune telling for me, she told me I would have obstacles on my career earlier, have problems with companies like recently I am facing, but things will be better. And I will meet many many good friends and get help from them. I don't really believe fortune telling, but I begin to believe, I always can identify the people have the same vibe with me, I believe the friends I have are all in the same magnetic field, that we attract each other. I am so grateful that everytime I met difficulties I can always have friends support me. Like this time I was fired, my friends still stand on my side and cheer me up to find another job.

My cold is still not fully recovered, although I feel like not want to do anything. I still push myself, or you can say my friends push me to go socialising. They connect me to meet someone, or someone I early connected ask me to have a chat. I enjoy the time like this, and always happy to have new connections, even like today before I stepped outside, I felt not well and a bit dizzy, but still went as promised, and had a good time there, enjoy more listening, good food, good friends and good stories.

This week, I intentionally filled my schedule with activities, keeping myself engaged and focused. I truly believe that everything that has happened to me—whether good or bad—carries a purpose. Each experience is guiding me toward becoming a better version of myself! Good Night:)

PS:Happy birthday, my dear friend! I hope I’ll be celebrating your next birthday next year this time with you as well!
