As I continued chatting with Carter, an excitement started to build inside of me. Our connection felt real and genuine, and I was eager to see if it would translate well in person as well.

My emotions were a rollercoaster as the day of our planned meet-up was approaching-; one minute I was feeling nervous and anxious, the next I was excited and elated. I felt a rush of adrenaline every time I thought about seeing him and hearing his voice in person, but my anxiety also kicked up a notch.

As the moment of our planned meet-up drew closer, the negative thoughts started creeping in. What if we didn't work out? What if I ruined it after all this time? What if it wasn't enough? 

I felt my mood begin to sour as I started to obsess over the potential failures. But, I quickly tried to reframe my mindset and focus on the positive. We had a great connection online, and that surely had to count for something right?

As the rest of my evening went on, the feelings of anticipation mixed with anxiety grew stronger as I thought about the upcoming meetup with Carter. 

I couldn't believe it was finally tomorrow, the day our long-awaited meetup would finally happen. The feelings of disbelief, nervousness, and excitement filled me to the brim.
