there are many instances in life when people whom you've forgotten for quite a while make a surprise appearance in your life all of a sudden. some are those who will brighten up your day; while some may make you feel like a loser for not having put enough effort into maintaining a potential friendship.
i've had many such encounters this year, and thrice this week. two of which i graciously greeted with a megawatt smile, and one which i chose to walk away like a passerby after hesitating for a split second. walking away may be easy, but sometimes it requires more courage to face the loser guilt in you after you chose to ignore, than to walk up and acknowledge your friend.
what is this called? trickery of fate or sheer luck. its something i don't really understand. why we can pray so hard for something and not get it and when we stop asking for it, it comes to us. like how i hope so hard to meet some people and yet not see a single trace of them. and when i stop asking for their appearance, they start to appear.
