Do Talk To Strangers.

I like getting to know new people. I like how you get to understand them, all the little details about a person which you would never normally know. The quirks they have, the way they speak. I like the initial conversations, the pleasantries that are exchanged between two strangers. I like the awkwardness of silence, or the constant flow of conversation.

I like how there's some people who you instantly click with, who you feel have a deeper understanding of what you as a person are trying to convey. I like it when people start to unravel in front of you, a ball of wool slowly being knitted into the jumper of friendship.

It's great getting to know new people, the stories they can tell you, the experiences they can share. I like hearing about different cultures, different opinions, different people. Their lives, the mundane day to day stuff as well as their dreams and ambitions.

I like how the conversation then starts becoming more detailed; little flashes of life inserted into them- an opinion here, a joke there, it's brilliant. Getting to know people is like a lottery, sometimes you'll hit the jackpot. Or a huge sweet shop, so full of variety, each person offering a new flavour, a new taste of life.

So, *do talk to strangers. You never know what you're going to get.
