Attending a low-pressure drawing meet-up to ease feelings of anonymity
I nearly turned back when I reached the library and saw everyone already talking. I had gone alone for a small evening drawing meet-up, but it was short and low-pressure, so I just joined in without having to explain my whole life to anyone. Ended up having two conversations, which sounds very small, but the walk home felt different from another evening inside the flat. They invited me to come again next week. I’m not calling it friendship or anything yet, but at least Kochi felt a little less anonymous for one evening.
