Feel Good Day

The other day, while on route to the theatre district, i bumped into a woman, Ive referred to as my, "bus buddy". I see her just about everyday and we exchange pleasantries usually with a nod of the head or smile, while on our way to work. Today while going down the stairs to the local tube platform, she came by by side and said good morning, to which I obviously and politely, wished her the same, with a smile and a soft spoken, "good morning". I took my usual spot on the platform, while listening to some "reg-gay" music. She came and stood by me and I noticed she was taking her earphones out, as if to say something to me, so I did the same, casually. She leaned over and said, "Ive been wanting to say hi to you for a while", I responded with, "well we see each every morning..". We started out chatting, all the way through work. She was sweet to me and liked me for whatever reason. She said she "liked my look" to which Ive heard the odd time, here and there, and have no clue as to what people mean - I draw on my eyebrows, but that's certainly not "a look"?? Speaking of which, while switching trains, she said, "Oh and ?I love your eyebrows" - I said to her, after a giggle, "they cause allot of unwanted attn", again giggle giggle. It was a great way to start off a gloomy Monday. It made me feel good about myself. I have a very low ego, and I'm cool with it, contrary to popular belief. Having low self esteem, makes me appreciate myself a bit more, if that makes sense...is it 4:20 hmmm
Having someone take an interest is such a great feeling. Rob hadn't made me feel that way in such a long time. I'm not saying I did, or maybe i did, in my special way, blind to him...Regardless, though no friendship is to be foreseen here, we will see each other on the tube, for a time to come if we are both employed as we are. She made me smile and feel good about, Franco. Its funny how a complete stranger can change your day, from the get go...and yet, someone you think(thought) you can trust, someone you believe to be your best friend/partner(in crime) can do the complete opposite. Rob was more of a strange, than the woman I met today.
