i woke up at 5:00am to find out my flight was delayed until 10:32am. i go back to sleep, then dad drops me off at the airport. as i walk through tsa, i catch eye contact with a guy quite a few times actually as we are waiting for our bags to pass through the x-ray machine. he sticks his hand out for a pound and tells me i look exactly like his home jc. i’m like oh word?? he gets his bag, and as he’s putting on his shoes, i go up to him and ask to see a photo of jc. i ain’t goin lie, jc sort of favors me, or actually i do favor him, or maybe it’s best said that we favor each other. kind of. he said he was going back to southern california, and we wished each other safe travels. as i’m walking to the gate, we run into each other again, then we have a short convo as we are going up the steps. we eventually exchanged ig handles before we go our separate ways. he’s a cool dude, and i told him i’d be in southern california within the next few months, so maybe we could link up for a chargers game or something.
meeting people in life is such a coincidence, yet such an awesome thing.
