Step up, step back

Exams are almost over, and I'm considering my current life. I burned a few too many bridges a little too soon, and now I'm fending for myself in social situations. Surprisingly enough, this has actually opened me up to new opportunities. I've been spending time with people whose company I enjoy and venturing out of my (former? let's go with "usual") social circle, which is actually kind of gratifying. It's nice to know that I don't have to rely on anyone for social interaction; that is, I can leave my comfort zone with ease. I guess I'm not as socially anxious as I thought.
