intro
Je n'ai pas peur de la route
Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goûte
Des méandres au creux des reins
Et tout ira bien là
Le vent nous portera
noir desir- le vent nous portera

Awkwardness.
You know that group on facebook called "Awkward Situations Define My Life"? well, its pretty much made for me. I have the uncanny ability to somehow take a perfectly normal situation and turn it awkward by doing/saying/thinking the absolute wrong thing at the right time.
I could quote several examples, but honestly, that would give away too much, and seeing how this blog isnt private, perhaps that isnt such a good idea. So lets take a hypothetical situation. Im trying (why, i do not know) to make small talk with someone. And this is someone im trying to impress/be nice to etc. And i manage to express an opinion that is inexperiencedly the exact opposite to that of that person. Yeah. Thats how perfectly i set myself up against myself. Its like starting a conversation with a republican about how those who oppose gay marriage are idiots. Well, this person is very nice, so he takes it in the best possible way and tries to cover up my mistake. Nevertheless, we're both glad when i end the conversation. And undoubtedly, there will be several more minutes of regretting my words in order for me to get over this.
This is just a small example of the awkward situations that seem to charecterize my very life. There are so many moments that i have thought better of, so many times i have wished i had done something differently.
So today im making a pact with myself. Never again will i let any situation get awkward. Never again will i suffer the compulsion to impress someone, or to care about someone else's opinions enough to actually affect my actions. My morality shall rule my actions.
Quoting Michael Bublé, "its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me - and IM FEELING GOOD."
