Being Awkward

I sometimes fear for myself.  

I am afraid of awkwardness.

I am even afraid that I cause it.

But what is awkwardness?

In the few years I have lived, I have learned that the awkward moments always occur right before the best ones.

Just wait a moment (when you find yourself tied up in a moment you can't describe and want to desperately run away from), and you will find that it isn't so bad.

Making new friends isn't so bad.

Having a thought provoking, intelligent conversation is not weird.

Waiting through the uncomfortable, silent seconds between another person is just leading towards a better moment.

And sometimes, those silent moments are not even bad.  They can be savored, and loved.  Some people desire moments like those: when words are not needed to make the situation comfortable.

That's when you know when you are true friends with another person: when you do not need words.

When observations and comments can be seen in anothers eyes.

All you will need to do is look in their eyes and see what they are feeling.

I love to look in people's eyes.
