Today,I took my dog out for a walk. I waved to my neighbor from across the road. She just had a baby a few months ago. So we talked about her baby,and the baby was enjoying watching my dog.
I was thinking later tonight,she is a nice person around my age. She could be a potential new friend. All these years,I was polite with non-Witnesses,but always had my guard up,because of supposed bad association. Now,I realized nothing is stopping me from making a new friend.
I know it's everyday life for most people. And they don't have to give it much thought. But,it's another milestone away from the borg for me.
