This Is How I celebrated MY ONE YEAR OF SELF EMPLOYMENT!

I was going to jump on a train to downtown and treat myself to the art museum. The planetarium then maybe I'd stop by my favorite restaurant for take out. It was important to me to celebrate 4,000 followers on Steemit and to be self-employed for a year. Both things I worked incredibly hard for, For over a year!

Last minute, My friend Denton Decided to join in; He made slight adjustments to my plans. (Which was an amazing surprise)

Sadly I didn't take any photos! I was nervous, to be honest, I'm not a very social person. And after talking to my friend for a year, I hadn't even seen him in person. Until this day! I didn't want to have my phone in front of my face the whole time. So I decided to fully enjoy the experience.

I got to try new things!

Spending time with someone new made me realize something important. It's easy to get caught up in the feeling that there isn't much more to life. That you can't experience things "like a kid" anymore. That newness feeling you get when you are clueless. I miss it. And I was able to feel that again. Everyone has different ideas on what is considered fun.

The Planetarium

The planetarium in Utah is a bit small, It's nothing too crazy exciting, to be honest. But it was refreshing to see lots of updates to it! It looks bigger and has more to it! We looked at the stuff, and we bought a ticket to see a show! They had this cool dome theater that was amazing. We watched a show on the upcoming Eclipse! Which got me more excited.

Virtual Reality!

Afterward, my friend took me to the virtual reality store so I could try it for the first time!
I was a little nervous I was afraid people would laugh or stare at me, Those headsets make people look really silly hahaha!! Clearly I was just overthinking things!
We played the bomb game, Which I suck at because when I describe things I tend to be very vague LOL! So you could see how that would end well.
" Yeah There are buttons... "
" What do the buttons look like? "
"They are white! "
" There are symbols on the buttons... "
" WHAT SYMBOLS?"
One of the games I really enjoyed was the job symulator.
I was a chef working in the kitchen, And of course I had to do stuff I shouldn't. Like try and put the tea mug into the blender, Or throw bread directly on the stove to heat it up. I even threw a flower pot onto the stove.

Then there was the art game, As an artist I was amazed by this. It's similar to that plain old paint program on your computer... But everything was 3D!!!
I could walk around my drawings, And use extremely bright paint. It was incredible.

Hibachi

We then went to a Hibachi place, Which was crazy amazing. I had never gone to a place like that before. They cooked all the food in front of us, And did tricks with it!! We got hot sake, Which was surprisingly good. Even though I am a lightweight with alcohol. The food was amazing; It was a lot of fun going new places! We were laughing a good chunk of the time! And I got the seafood meal.

What a great way to celebrate one year of self-employment and 4,000 followers on Steemit.
