An Outlet

25 June, 2016.

Today was totally a fun filled day.

Since Mikayla and I slept late last night, we woke up around 10.

Wait, I always wake up at 10.

Anyways, we woke up at 10. I couldn't stay at Mikayla's for long cause I had to go out for a function.

This function was a family friend party. We were going to celebrate two occasions at the same time. Normally, we go out for lunches and dinners but this time we had booked a mini hall.

The theme of the party was blue or black. I was tempted to wear something black cause it suits me the most but decided to go with blue instead. My original choice was to wear blue skin fit pants and a white crop top with a sleeveless blue denim jacket on top. But I later switched the denim jacket for a blue flannel as I wasn't feeling too brave to sport the former look.

The party was pretty boring at first. We were the first ones to arrive. Parents got along really well but it was a bit awkward for us. We didn't really have much to talk cause we are of different age groups and my close friends hadn't arrived yet.

Finally my close friends who are also the lives of the party, arrived. The DJ started playing the music and that's when the real party began. The DJ started out with a slow number and all the parents started slow dancing while we either took their videos or stared awkwardly at each other.

Even when the DJ started putting some upbeat songs, we didn't move from our places. It was only when our parents literally pulled us to the dance floor that we started (kinda) dancing.

I dance like a maniac but that's only when no one's around. I get super shy while dancing in front of people, mostly my parents.

One of my friends, Sia, is a brilliant dancer. She started dancing so good! And I noticed that all her dance steps were easy to follow. Now I am no goddess of dance but I can follow if someone shows me the steps. Sia got me inspired and I started dancing. Started dancing like there's no tomorrow.

My parents were shocked after seeing me dance. Not just because I was dancing well but because I was dancing in the first place. I've been to many other family functions before but I've never had the courage to dance. And here I was, dancing my ass out.

It was pretty fun tho! Everyone started dancing later on and we had a blast! I danced till the last song. By the end of the dance party, my boots had killed my knees.

We cut the cakes and ate our delicious dinner. We talked about previous memories and joked a lot. Ultimately we had a sleepover at Sia's place. We played a board game which lasted for the entire night. The game got over only around 6 in the morning.

After the game, we all sat on the balcony, watching the sun rise. It was beautiful. I don't normally get to watch sun rises so I cherished the moment.

But I still think sun-sets are more beautiful.

Today was a really long day. But it was worth it.
