Hey, Hi, Hello,Yo, Whats up, Holla...
No matter the word, greetings have always felt awkward to me. The act of using an introductory word in order to spark some sort of conversation is just so strange. I've yet to master it.
Just the other day, I attempted to rekindle some sort of relationship with this guy I know and I could barely manage a greeting. Hi, Hello, Hey, they all seem so stiff and impersonal. It felt...wrong. Why can't we just start conversations straight off the bat. Screw the pleasantries (who needs those), lets just get into the nitty gritty, the marrow of the bone, the good stuff, am I wrong? I suppose eras of greetings have rendered the absence of hi's and hello's ridiculous, and I suppose I'm being a little ridiculous.
i dont know.
It just makes getting back together with people, and reconnecting so hard; and as a socially awkward teenager, mustering the strength to utter those words takes an inane amount of effort. I mean, I usually just end up scrapping the whole idea of conversation, and receding back into the dark cave known as my bedroom. Yeah, I don't go out.
Well whatever, I guess.
Greetings.
