at the nike store one of the old neighbors stopped me to say what’s up. i was surprised because i didn’t think he would recognize me outside of the neighborhood. the only time we saw each other was when bagel and i would walk, which was everyday, so it was pretty often. we had a brief convo where i filled him in on the move. i told him the neighbors aren’t as good as he was, but we ended up hugging before i wished him well. i told him i’d see him around, because it seems as if this world is too small lately to not be running into people you’ve grown familiar with.
walking with bagel has really brought me closer to others.
i love it.
