I work the front desk of a hotel, and I’ve met some really interesting people by taking our conversations ~just~ beyond the realm of customer service pleasantries. literary critics, accomplished visual artists, astrophysicists working on the next space telescope, and a whole conference of very friendly Kantians. it’s a big world, with lots of interesting people in it!

whenever i’m waiting in line, or walking next to someone, i love to try start a conversation. just say hi, try to make some small talk and see what happens. sometimes its awkward, but sometimes we really hit it off. its scary at first but ive found im always glad i did it. usually i don’t even get their name - its just nice getting to know someone

over the past two years i’ve gotten quite good at speaking to new people, and in the past six months i’ve made it one of my favorite traits. i tell people i love their hair when i’m behind them at line at the shops. i befriended an older lady on the train home from work, we laughed and exchanged stories on the crowded rush hour car. i built a relationship with the lady at sandwich place near my work, to the point where she calls out my nickname (veggie melt) when i walk in, and gave me a free sandwich the day i lost my wallet. i draw her pictures every time, and the other day she offered me freelance illustration work as a result. there is so much beauty and possibility around us, so many stories we can unlock by talking to strangers. when im old and withered, i will mark my years by how many little threads i’ve woven into my life, how many gold links i’ve started by an innocuous interaction with somebody i simply hadn’t known yet.

seems like everyone and their mum is doing this but it’s for good reason!!! truly has stood the test of time, might be even better now that i’m not a 15 yr old yet to experience the pain of being a woman in her 20s. kind of a painful watch that makes you want to cringe every 5 minutes but….. it’s so good
