how to fight loneliness
Wow. I feel like I made a total mistake. Have you ever felt like you were doing something nice for someone, and then realized you completletely disrespected that person? Thats what I think happened yesterday. I got a NAU souveneir from my campus visit the other day to give to Nat, and I couldn't wait until Monday to tell her about the visit. I made sure I called before showing up at her house. She was a little reluctant to let me come over, but finally said I could. I was so focused on just seeing her, I couldn't think of anything else. So we talked for several minutes in the front hall, and after a while, the air in the room grew restless. Using one of those incredible Thai facial expressions, Nat told me nonverbally that I probably should get going. So I said good-bye, and "see you soon", and walked home thinking I made someone's day.But after thinking about the incident, I realized that the restlessness in the atmosphere of that room was due to the fact maybe I shouldn't have been there. Why was she reluctant to let me come over? It was probably against her household rules. I feel like I totally disregarded her parents' perspective, and my act was selfish and immature. She either saw that I love her so much, nothing can stand in the way of me seeing her face and hearing her voice, or that I don't respect her enough to regard her family's rules. I really hope she didn't get in any trouble because of me, so I owe her a huge apology next time I see her. I feel so stupid. After telling Nat so many times how much I respect her, I feel I totally blew it by what happened yesterday. I just hope she can forgive me.
