strange interactions

i just want to take a minute to shout out to the overly friendly people i often meet in columbus state bathrooms. i am one of those people who enjoys having a short conversation as we wash our hands and rearrange our shirts and scarves in front of the mirror in the bathroom. i enjoy elevator friendships. interactions with strangers can be really strange, but i wouldn't trade them for the world. it's like a little bite of heaven, becoming quick friends with people that would ordinarily just pass by on the streets. bidding each other 'goodbye and have a good day' is the best, because we legitimately don't know each other, even so it's beautiful to want the best, people with whom you have: no history, no past, most likely no future. just making the best of the present. sometimes the unwritten highlight of my day is just finding some way our lives overlap, me and stranger.
