(no subject)
and then sometime your world comes full circle.
i still, sometimes, get surprised.
tonight i've made a new friend. this new friend, i've seen him around over the past few years. our paths have crossed. we used to talk, idle chit chat. barely knowing the others name. chit chat borne out of customer service.
he was the customer.
but that was several years ago. i thought he had long forgot. our interactions were always short, although quite pleasant.
i always wondered exactly why he stopped acknowledging me. why he pretended to not know me. he always had that look in his eye that said "i remember.."
well, tonight.. tonight i cornered him into a response.
he was bold and brave and questioned me on things i've never been questioned on. things most people, i assume, fear to ask.
i've never known a person like him, who is like me, who i could talk to.
i think he is sweet and i think he is honest. i think he has answers for me.
"when you look in the mirror, does it sometimes feel like you are wearing a mask?"
no-one has ever, ever understood.
from the outside, this very well may seem more than it is. i know at least a couple of people will understand.
in other news: the walk home (alone) was very terrifying.
