After some time, you find yourself having a lot of laughs and generally enjoying yourself.

It’s been a long while, and you can’t remember the last time you were just happy, but you like it. You might not feel like it, but you realize that if you put in an effort and try to get past your tiredness, you might be able to feel better. It’s no guarantee, but it’s something to work towards.

As the night goes on and everyone gets ready to go, you say that you guys should try and get together and do something for the weekend, when you all have more time. Everyone agrees.

For once, you feel like everything will be okay.
