What did you do this weekend?
As part of a weekly series, these topics are a place for users to casually discuss the things they did — or didn't do — during their weekend. Did you make any plans? Take a trip? Do nothing at all? Tell us about it!
Lately I've been trying my best to be more open-minded and willing to try new things, just to get a variety of different experiences. I was in the city for an event with friends and afterwards, one friend invited us to come to a jazz bar with some of her extended family. I'm not too interested in jazz or in bars so I would usually have declined, but decided to try it out and I must say that it was a good experience, though a little awkward with all the new people. It's hard to describe, but it was just enlightening in a way to see a small community of older folks enjoying the music, drinking, dancing together and it felt like it opened my mind up a little bit to what these kinds of places can be like, especially since none of my family are outgoing at all or into social activities. Seeing such a community has made me start thinking about how I might find such a community for myself in the future, beyond my family.
