Mindfull

Before getting my dog I spent a lot of time inside reading or playing video games. However,
once I took June home I slowly lessened my presence in the virtual world. It started with waking
up early to feed her. Her schedule meant that I couldn't stay up until two in the morning killing
zombies (unless I wanted to feel like a zombie). After establishing a regular bedtime, I began
taking her on walks. At first I was anxious because I am not typically a people person. However,
I found that I never had to struggle to find something to say because June was always a
conversation started. Pretty soon my awkward small talk transformed into real friendships. I
found out that my neighbor plays tabletop games and now we have a regular game night. June
has helped me overcome my bad habits and social anxiety.
