Perhaps you thought I was strange-looking.

Perhaps you thought I looked sad and wanted to smile at me to brighten my day.

Maybe you were excited to see a non-Amazonian, non-blonde white girl– a rarity in these parts.

Maybe you found me attractive. If this is the case, perhaps you should consider getting your eyes checked.

Most likely, you were staring off into space and I just happened to be in your way.

 Regardless of your reasons, the fact that I am still dwelling on a stranger staring at me during a red light shows just how much I need some form of social interaction. For once, I need to make the effort to speak to people outside of class, to actually try to let people get to know me. Isolating myself the way I have has not done me any good. The time has come for me to reconsider my life and how I want it to be.
