Day 4: Deliver a Pizza for Dominos

Day 4: Ask to deliver a pizza for Dominos

Day 4 had been a busy day for me. I spent the first half of it filming for a project and the second half emotional and crying in my car. I stopped in front of a Dominos on my way home to try to get the challenge out of the way but couldn’t get myself to go in. This dominos was small and it didn’t have a sit-down area. There were 2 guys working at the counter who were cute, my age and honestly just intimidated me. I sat in the car for a while trying to pull it together but I started to get a pounding headache.  

After going back and forth, I decided I wasn’t in a good mental state to go through with it. I went home, cried, and had a self care night instead. Did I need to include this? No. but I will always advocate for mental health and honoring your feelings- especially when you need a rest day :) 

Part 2: 

The next day I was coming back home from a sorority event. I had been dreading stopping by Dominos the whole day. I even wanted to back out again. But this time I had my friend in the car with me. I told her what I was supposed to be doing so I couldn’t bail.

I sat in the car filled with anxiety. There were two guys sitting right by the counter. I didn’t want anyone else to hear about this strange request. Again, I was more worried about the opinion of others rather than the actual rejection.

I whined and complained about a few more minutes until I saw a dominos delivery person walk outside. They were loading their bike to make a delivery. It was now or never. I hurried over to their bike and asked the question. They seemed uncomfortable. I felt weird and like I was sketching them out. Again, worrying about how I was being perceived. They told me it was their job and I happily took that as my cue to leave.

I didn’t like that at all. I felt the cringe in my bones. I was so uncomfortable and my heart was racing. I felt like I had been making progress before, but this made me so physically uncomfortable I wasn’t too sure. I went home not proud- just relieved it was over.
