I overheard my neighbor when answering the door. This is an excerpt of the greeting. My heart melted, and I couldn't help but smile.
guy: you look pretty.
girl: awww, no, why? why do you say that?
guy: you always do...because its you.

pressure
I overheard something that I hear quite often while attending a culturally diverse university. A Indian guy was talking about how most Indian parents want their kids to be a doctor or an engineer…something that is deemed as “important” or “secure”. He mad it seem like it was less about finical security, and more about status. Their parents want to be able to tell...

Have Anything To Share???
I want to do some kind of a project about awkward situations and how to overcome them…about making the most of moments to learn about others and ourselves.

Something to think about
The water in our toilets is cleaner than the water a lot of people in the world have to drink. They die because they consume contaminated water. We flush clean, pure water. I feel so guilty and so blessed.

I want to meet interesting people.
I walk past so many people on the street, and at most, we only say hi or exchange a smile. Even more disappointing is sitting next to someone and no one says anything to each other.

All I could say to one girl in particular was “I’m sorry you had...

overheard
Yesterday I was passing time sitting on a couch in a hallway facing a window in a building at my school. I was eating lunch while looking out the window, watching all the people move about on campus. Then this girl sits on the other couch on the other side of me, talking on the phone. It was odd how loud she was talking compared to what she was talking about. I felt it was personal stuff, and she...

ok so...
i need to start using this blog.
I’m really trying to make a change in my life by talking more. I am pushing myself more than ever to not hold back when I have something to say. I’m doing good so far I think. I don’t know if it is going to get easier or harder as time passes. I am hopeful.
I want to meet and talk with more people. I think there is a lot you can learn from...
