I don't mean to make a post that appears to be non-nonsensical or shallow however, I have been on the train for the past 12 hours taking an overnighter from upstate New York to Chicago. Thankfully the ride has been for the most part very calming and my space has been private...riding coach of course we never know whats gonna happen next.
That said, I have had both seats of which I chose the window option. After a decent nights sleep at a 30 degree angle that is, I woke to sunshine and beautiful landscape out my window side.
I then encountered a "Default Travel Partner" or (DTP). I am not sure if this is such a word but for me now it is. So the DTP began talking the moment he sat down asking questions and telling me about his life. Now, I don't want to be rude but I am not always looking to make everyone my friend whilst in the space of travel. Of course, there is a limit to everything and embracing humanity is necessary. We need it!
But how does one deal with this situation? The DTP wants to talk about his Indian dancing career and how he is travelling to Utah to become a professional wrestler. Not that this isn't interesting stuff because in someways this is some really interesting conversation. But then again, that limit kicks in and I don't want to feel bad yet I begin to ignore slowly pacing his jibber jabber down to a quiet nothing.
Is this proper adequate?
Have I left him sad or disappointed?
Will he forgive me?
Well, I guess if I cordially say a fair-well and grant a smile of peace and love all will be good. I suppose the vibes or energetic fields between two people left in peace is most important. But let's not hold bad vibes toward him. He is just trying to be friendly and make a friend. So I embrace you, give up some of my personal space and send good vibrations your way Mr. DTP!
