Every conversation at the hometown bar tonight:

“Hey!! Long time no see – how are you?”
“Good! You?”

*awkward hug*

“Good! How’s the fam? Working in the city now?”
“Great! Yup!”
“Well ima grab a drink real quick, let’s catch up later?”
“Sounds Good!”

*doesn’t catch up later*

Met a woman at the airport from my hometown. Pretty crazy considering we’re so far from home. I lied when she asked where I’m from, obviously, cuz that would have lead to more small talk. But crazy nonetheless

The idea that it’s a small world after all is lovely. Until you run into people you know. Then it’s horrific.
