Blasts from the past

who are you

Good day everyone!

Have you ever seen someone in the shopping mall, and you recognised them from school or university or somewhere. The problem is just that you can’t remember their name. Then it’s this dance where you try to avoid them, just so you don’t have to get into that awkward conversation with them.

Well this happened to me today. I wont bore you with the excruciating detail. The good that came from it was that I got to reminiscing about old friendships, occasions and relationships.

Naturally some of them were not the best memories, but I chose to focus on the good ones and soon found myself smiling.

A good laugh, for instance, was the date I went on when I was sixteen; I took this gorgeous girl to a restaurant and in attempting to be all chivalrous I pulled out her chair and promptly went to sit down only to look up and find her getting up from the floor looking thoroughly annoyed. You see I pulled the chair out; I did not push it back again.Life isn’t all bad, even bad events can be used for a smile.

Laugh at yourself – its fun.

Have a tremendous evening everyone.
