Human

To be there for others. The chubby lady at the guard post. She is new. I never thought to come in through the other side. The side that she mans. I stick to my automated gate and wave as I pass. But tonight was different. She always waves. She always smiles. I always pretend to half see her. But I see her. And tonight I thought, could I go out of my way to be interested. Instead of always rushing through acting as if she wernt worth my time to chat with for 30 seconds and ask how her day was. To get off of my pretentious high horse of "I'm too busy for you". You never know what your smile and interest in a person can give them. What it can give you. We are all here together and ultimately share similar struggles. Could we for a moment acknowledge we are part of each other, we are related, whether we like it or not and no matter how hard we fight it, we are connected.
