some sense of community

a long time back, i bumped into this girl from my ballet class when i was heading home from the supermarket.

yesterday, i ran into my teachers’ ballet assistant when i was returning from an errand.

today, i found myself face-to-face with another lady from my class when retrieving my parked bicycle.

and it feels rather nice to be around the neighbourhood and come across people you know from here and there. like taking the bus every monday at the same time and seeing the same old lady whom i havent yet dared to say good morning to yet. there’s just this sense of assurance from seeing familiar faces and people with whom you have some kind of connection with, regardless of how tenuous.

perhaps i’ll try to say hi to that old lady next monday…
