Wondering if it is safe to "interact" - felt so true to how we all think, but rarely say out loud. Thank you for sharing this, Jesse. The best connections happen when we just open up and let them.
Thank you Diana, I completely agree and see it as a recurring life lesson that so much of our lives, from writing to relationships and connections, are governed by what we are open to and invite in.
Wonderful essay Jesse. I too have had memorable chats with strangers while waiting and it also takes bravery to engage in such conversations. Far easier to busy ourselves with other things. But I have found I have usually gained something from the unexpected.
Thank you May, for accepting and publishing my essay. I agree, it takes bravery and a healthy dose of sizing up the situation. It's pleasing to hear others have also gained and enjoyed something from the unexpected.
