i try and smile at anyone that i make eye contact with in my daily wanderings. and no crappy half smiles either, those don’t count. full, crinkled eye smiles.

it actually bothers me sometimes when i am standing around with another person or two, maybe waiting for a bus or train and we are just silent. even if i don’t really feel like chatting, i feel like we should be chatting. if only for the fact that we are humans occupying the same space at the same time, regardless of the social form and structure around us.
