Oh man, I remember a few years ago, I was on this bus ride back home from a work thing and this girl was sat next to me. She has a boyfriend and she knew that I knew, and we’re both not insanely talkative, but I had decided, fuck it, we’re on this bus ride together now, so we’re gonna have a chat.

And it was actually a good chat. She told me that she’s majoring in business studies, mainly because she didn’t know what to study, which I can relate to a lot, and then we just ranted about exams and professors and all that.

And at some point, she had a reaction like she just zoomed out from that whole situation and realized how long we’ve been talking and also that I’m actually interested in what she says.

I’m probably interpreting too much into this, but it almost felt like she was questioning her life choices, like maybe not even her boyfriend is that interested in her as a person.

Which would be sad, but unfortunately probably not that unusual either. 🫠
