When I travel solo I am able to find the ability to talk to people without being shy. I meet the most amazing people and have great stories to tell when I come home because of this. I’ve been making a conscious decision to try to be more open to talking to strangers at home and amazingly enough, people respond in kind. I feel like we have become too suspicious and protective against people we don’t know which makes us miss out on so much. We have forgotten how to talk to each other but I assure you when you do the results can be very rewarding.
Saturday night I was at the final show of a Gottingen bar and talked to a crazy amount of people I have never met and only one person gave me the cold shoulder. The rest laughed and carried on with me. These interactions are so rewarding and I thank each and every one of you for being open. So, I guess what I am trying to say is if you have compliments to give or observations to share with strangers, do it. If someone approaches you with the same be open to accepting it without suspicion that they have a hidden agenda. It will make you realize the world is a kinder place then maybe you thought. —Keeping an Open Mind

so then people there is a chance i can find anne, pronounced annie, u will find my message refering to the bitch post like a week or two weeks ago about the guy having trouble getting over a 7 or nine year relationship. Well the number she gave me, i found the other day, and was so shoched as it was no where near close to the number i thought i called two years ago, so after all the goggleing help only one helped, it was caller id, and i almost passed out, was like a dazed fgeeling i never felt before, the first letter of the name came up as a. and i can not in good faith write the last name, so , well maybe there is hope to reunite to let her know how i’ve been feeling these last two years, but am so scared as it maybe wrong number, what to do, what to do, wow, i am just stunned these days. So again i wrote to posts in that bitch article that was a week to two weeks ago, so any suggestions or advice i would sooo appricate it, much love halifax people,
