hey you :)

I'm not good at greeting people. when I was nine years old I was at a gymnastics competition and I had to greet the judges, but I skipped this part and was disqualified.

I was always afraid of meeting people I knew in the street because I would have to say hi. when I see you saying gm, ga, gn it triggers me somehow and I have no idea why I'm so afraid of saying hello.

I saw you saying those things and it was strange, but it also made me think about cycles and communities and kindness. I love people and I love talking to people and I think it's beautiful that we have this rituals of encountering and going away. that's the way I've been seeing this, but it still feels awkward to greet. I guess I had to find my own way to honor the presence of people. I tried in this post, but I don't feel it is that. 🤷🏽‍♀️ do you have any tips? 😬
