A new beginning

    It is Friday I have decided to block my remaining emotions for good because it is too much for me. Having half of my emotion unconsciously blocked is not good for me, I keep feeling too much and nothing at the same time. It was a nuisance for me and the people around me.

While talking to those strangers, I got to know about their perspective of this university, the people in here, the teachers, everyone. It seemed like their way of thinking was a bit different just like I thought. Then came the person who changed my whole reality. As I was talking I saw the third person, the third friend, wearing something no sane man would wear, black Chelsea boots, blue skinny jeans and blue T-shirt underneath a blue checkered button down shirt. He had a short afro haircut, with glasses.

As ridiculous as it sounds, he looked good, he looked charming, an extrovert who would be ready to fight any battle. He came, sat down, and I got to know that he had missed his lab, which was really important 😂. I laugh as I think about it.

We started talking about shows, songs, movies, a little bit of everything. I was finished with my classes, and they had an exam, which he didn't prepare for, and he wasn't even worried about. It surprised me, how can someone be so chill about not preparing a mid-exam. I was shocked beyond my mind!

We had talked before but as seniors and juniors, nothing else. That was the first day we actually talked, and I told him that I didn't have an ID card. I was 21, but I didn't have one, and he got really surprised, so I explained to him that I live with my father's older sister,, and she has been a mother figure to me since I was 4. I do meet with my dad, he lives in another city. I have never met my birth mother and never want to because here is my whole life, my sister who is not my sister but is actually my cousin and my aunt's husband died 15 years ago and she works 2 jobs so , so doesn't have the time.

He listened to all of this without blinking an eye or feeling sorry for me like some people did. He didn't pity me, he just changed the subject and asked about my hobbies and what I wanted to do. I told him so many things that I wanted to learn, like horse riding, swimming, martial arts etc. He was quiet for a second and then asked his other friend, should we teach her how to ride a bike? That question caught me off guard and the only reply I could muster up was, WHAT? He said yeah why not, it will be fun😃, and I said yes. That day was the day I thought that I've been asking my father to teach me how to ride a bike for years and he used to brush it off, but this stranger whom I had just met some hours ago saw something that I couldn't do and offered to teach me. It was the first time a stranger, who he was still one, would would teach me something I didn't know 🥺
