As I’m walking down the street, listening to my favorite songs, thinking about everything and nothing all at once, I am completely lost in a world of my own.
I think about how annoying my neighbor is and how he keeps complaining about my “dangerous” dog. I think about dragons and what it would be like if they were among us- would we use them for our selfish reasons like we do with so many other animals or would we “simply” eliminate them? I think about aliens- whether they exist or not and what that exact fact represents to mankind. There are so many bizarre and weird things inside my head all at once and those thoughts keep me so occupied that half of the time I have no idea what’s happening in the world surrounding me.
Someone could be on fire right in front of me (well maybe not right in front of me, but definitely right beside me) and I wouldn’t even blink. That’s how strong my daydreaming is.
So forgive me when I walk down the street like I don’t even know you. Because in that precise moment I wouldn’t even recognize my own mother.
In my last post, I mentioned how most people that don’t know me very well think I’m cocky or bitchy. Generally self-centered. But that’s simply not the truth. Most of the time I’m so caught up in my own world that I don’t see people crossing the street right next to me. Or others that say hello to me with kindness and grace. Sure sometimes it does happen that I ignore someone intentionally. Though not because I'm cocky, but simply because they deserve it and that's the catch.
When I meet someone for the first time I can be very quiet and I tend to keep to myself. But does that make me cocky? Or bitchy? Absolutely not. It just means that I don’t know you very well and consequently don’t know how to act around you. Yet.
Many tend to assume the worst right from the beginning. I used to be like that too. Eventually, as I grew older I realized that we’re all sooo different and that we’ll never get to meet the same person twice. We all have our weird habits, qualities, and some even very big and serious issues. That’s why it’s important to be kind. Always.
As soon as we realize that, both our life and this world become a much brighter and happier place.
As for me, I’ll keep daydreaming about aliens, dragons and fairies. Maybe next time you see me, it will bring a smile to your face, instead of bitterness in your heart.
With love, Nina
