The Crash Course

Yesterday, about this time around, it was unbelievably awkward. I had just helped a friend who was in need due to the lack of transport/utility/services at KLIA (can you believe how 'international' the airport is?) Nothing was planned and it sort of just flowed. Well, there was a plan originally but the results vary too far away from even the most standard of standard deviation. The awkwardness was largely influenced by the fact that it was only the first meeting. To top it all, I had the opportunity to meet the grandparents, the parents, and majority of the family. Right away. That was like the fastest introduction to a person's life that I've ever had in my entire life. Unplanned.

Everything seemed distant but it also felt so close. Thank you and sorry, if anything. (I really don't know what to say.)

the situation of getting to know someone closely and yet feeling like you're still being far away from that person, almost entirely without conscious control. it happens to me a lot because -- i'm not usually ready to give even though i like to help (a little oxymoronic), and i don't normally open up even though i'd like to find out more about others around (a little more oxymoronic than before).

nearly always related to my taciturn, reserved, inferiority complex & plain forthright in nature. it happens again and again because i never learn fr past lessons, im clueless, ignorant, and i don't have a good memory. i keep forgetting. :-)

i hope that answers your q.

With that person that u met at the airport, there's no need to give anything and there's nothing to be sorry about.

Just. be. urself. OK?
