Recently I had an experience where I felt some of my jaded ice burg self start to thaw. I did not know what to do with myself. People aren't suppose to be kind! People are not suppose to have manners, and hold doors open or say 'please' and 'thank you'! People are not suppose to care about you!
I found the kindness I experienced to be shocking, and as a result was awkward. I also probably looked constipated because I was taking so long to process the whole experience. The niceness was just all too much for me.
When I told my friend S about the experience she told me to stop acting like I was allergic to happiness.
