The Village

Date: 4/28/2025

I was at home I think, and a group of people my age had walked past the door. I waved and they backtracked and waved back. They started making conversation with me, and had invited me out to an event at some place called The Village. I said yes, of course. Didn't know what kind of event it was, but I was just happy that people wanted to hang out with me. I wasn't dressed yet, so that was priority number 1. Two of the girls stuck around with me while everyone else went along. It took me a Long time to find something to wear, mainly because I didn't know how I was getting to the event. I'd pulled out some overalls and a dark colored shirt so that if I started sweating if we walked, it wouldn't show. But then I didn't like what I picked and wanted to look cool instead, so I looked in my closet again. There's this skirt that keeps popping up, a long dark blue skirt with sunflowers and little red accents. I figured it would look good with this celestial shirt I had, as well as my moon/star dangle earrings and pointy toed black boots. During the process of trying to get myself ready I had realized I never introduced myself to them. I told them my name and gave them a handshake, and they seemed... uncomfortable? Annoyed? The second girl put a paper towel between our hands when we went to shake, and I thought to myself how rude that was. At some point, they ended up leaving and I figured I'd meet them at the event. I still had to wash up and brush my teeth after all. I ended up getting distracted, trying to figure out how I'd get down to The Village since it was all the way downtown. Talked to my sister and my mom, and everything was going subtly chaotic. My sister started taking my paintings and painting supplies out of my closet. There's one painting that I've been keeping hidden because it was painted during an emotional time and now looking at it makes me uncomfortable. I fussed and told her to put my stuff back. Then mom was under the impression that I was taking my nieces to The Village with me (because my sister told her so), and I just kinda blew up and went on and on on a rant and that I wasn't taking my nieces and I never said I would and yadda yadda.
