Lol … I’ve been chatting with a nice guy at the supermarket every time I go there. I don’t know him nor do I really want to … he’s just nice and I want to be nice back. I’m a guy, I’m not gay, I was just being nice and friendly. I’m brown indigenous, he’s Indian and I live in a mostly white area so I thought I’d take an extra step to be nice to someone who is different because I know what that feels like.
Last time I saw him, he answered me back with ‘Why?’ Every time I asked something about his life
I asked how good his family was … has he been traveling anywhere special lately … what have you been up to?
I don’t know him and I just wanted to chat about something, anything and at one point I felt strange.
But he was good about it … I told him I was just wanted to chat … he laughed and said it was alright and we talked for a while.
The world is getting weird I find and it’s getting harder to just talk to anyone without some form of suspicion between people.
It was always like that to a degree as far as I can remember (I’m on my 40s) … but I find it seems to be more so these days.
