When I was still in high school, my parents were very strict. They cannot allow me to go out at night like some young students around my age do. There's a pain inside me because, of course, who wouldn't feel like that? I was jealous and envious of them because they could go out and have fun with some friends. However, there's also some relief that I didn't go because I was an introvert, and a part of me understands why my parents are being like that because they are just being careful, and it's not like they want to be selfish by not wanting me to experience the happiest moments of life while I am still young. They are just being protective because, in those years, going out at night was not that safe anymore, and they couldn't also trust those people around me to not do anything bad.

While growing up, I still stayed inside my comfort zone. which is my room. I am really the type of person who is too lazy to go out because I am surrounded by darkness, and I am scared of going out. I'm afraid of the stares of the people around me, and I'm scared of hearing the voices and words that are coming out of the mouths of many people around me. Every time I go out, those words are for me, and that was the trauma that I experienced when I was younger.

Another reason why my comfort zone is my room is because it's one of the things that I work hard for. I mean, my room was so messy before and hasn't been fixed yet.

One of my dreams is to have my own room again, and I don't want my mom to grant that wish, so I worked hard for months by publishing blogs and earning crypto just to fix my room.

So I really don't like to go out of this comfort zone because it makes me feel safe and comfortable, and it's also become the place where I can do anything that I want to do without being judged by other people. But when I decided to go out, my perspective of my surroundings changed. I'm still scared every time I go out, of course, but when the moment came that I did go out with my sister and experienced going out partying and attending a free concert festival,

I realized that I accomplished the one dream that I wanted to experience that other people do at night, and I am glad because I was still young when I experienced this. And that is going out at night to party in public; attending a thing like this is my first time. I'm enjoying the vibe while singing along with some people around me to a very familiar song. I really liked the feeling.

That's why, I said at the end of that blog, 

> "So this is how it feels when we attend parties like this, huh? Now I finally understand why people really like and love to attend concerts and nights out at parties with their friends."

because I really never experienced going out at night and partying, especially with some friends. By reading the question that the @ladiesofhive community asked for this [blog contest #119](https://peakd.com/hive-124452/@ladiesofhive/ladies-of-hive-community-contest-119).

> 1️⃣ When was the last time you went out of your
comfort zone, and what did you accomplish?

I can't remember any other things that I accomplished while going out except that weekend's night when I went out with my sister and her friends. That night, I accomplished the one dream that I wanted to experience, and I really hope that I can experience this again someday, but this time, I wanted to experience it with some friends (if I have any). 

So this is all for today, I hope you enjoyed reading this! Thank you for reading!
