i saw a friend in school today. he looked different, somewhat more mature, walking with long, purposeful strides. suddenly, i felt an urge to go up and talk to him, to ask how he has been. but the bus sped routinely away.
later i thought about what i had wanted to say to him, and i realised that there were none. sometimes, you may feel a strong urge to communicate or connect with someone, but once that moment is gone you might realise that it was just an empty shell, a futile attempt at interpersonal relationships; to allow yourself to fit into the society which you are in, even when it isn't necessary. is that human nature?
