I got invited to go fishing with some coworkers and had to say no. It's kind of a shame since I don't have any friends and it was a chance to do something social, plus the area they wanted to go is chill and out in the woods. But I've never been comfortable with fishing. It's a big part of where I grew up. Lots of people don't even eat the fish. They toss the poor things back in the water.

Maybe I could still go but just hang out on the shore.

      Call me a tree hugger or whatev but I believe fish are incredibly beautiful and don't deserve to be screwed around with, regardless of the fish's hypothetical emotional state. It don't sit right with me.
