Hello?? Is anyone out there?

Day five: Hi is your best friend

It never hurts to say HI! That is my lesson: HI is a very powerful word.
It can connect you to another person, make them smile, reach out to their lonely existence. It is remarkable what one word can do.

I used it twice today!!

I met Matthew the Shiastu man, I walked into work and was looking for supplies because well I needed to do some sort of magick tonight. So I needed a new 7 day candle and some new incense, and maybe new faery offerings. I was looking around I said HI to the other wanderer in the shop and proceeded on my way.

After finding my supplies and my intuition finally at peace, I asked if I could stick around and wait for my manager, I took two santaria books off the shelf and found a chair and there was wandering guy. Who said hello! I was like ok, cool I can talk to strangers so I sat down and made small talk. He introduced himself and explained he worked there doing shiatsu. We chatted I told him I was psychic, I mean it’s a magick shop if I can’t come out of the psychic closet here where can I right? He discussed my control issue and out of nowhere proceeded to help me. He made me visualize a switch or a dial rather and try turning it with my mind. It worked; I mean I stopped reading him and everyone in the shop. We talked about our cities and where we came from, where we traveled to etc. It was two hours later and time flew by, I never had a conversation with someone I barely knew that was so revealing, so intriguing and so easy. It felt like a therapy session but instead of leaving angry and confused, I left happy and light. Connecting with another person made me feel better.

I liked him, A man, I liked his company. I enjoyed our banter and I didn’t want to throw him into a brick wall. He even joked about Emilie! Like whoa you get my jokes? And banter along with me? I was in shock. Needless to say I am enjoying talking to strangers. The anxiety about what they think, if they are mocking you all disappears because I don’t care. It was a one time thing, if next Tuesday we work together awesome! If not oh well. It was nice. Shiastu man your cool in my books.

Now to make friends in my college! Yikes!
