One of my favorite things is people watching. Quietly observing their interactions with each other and people outside of their cliques. Currently there is a peer counseling session going on in one corner of the common space, there's a busy bee worker tending to the patrons and the general upkeep of the common spaces.
Sitting here typing all of this, and still being keenly aware of conversations being held by 6 different people I feel like I'm eavesdropping but at the same time I recognize that it's a PTSD/Fight or Flight response. But the humanitarian in me finds these observations interesting like watching a nature documentary. It reminds me that we are all living these complex lives and each of us are a universe into ourselves. We are so inclined to be disconnected from those around us, yet all the while yearn for connection. For a person or a group, a fellowship to belong to.
Speaking to others provides us with a way to connect and gives us a sense of belonging. This particular coffee house is a hub that I have only recently found out about. And I am really loving it. I am here because I am to have a meeting with a resource manager and to make a connection of my own, for getting more awareness for my book and for my upcoming events.
