| The Subway and I, don't clash | |

Hi Guys! Basically, I wanted to write something in another category but didn't quite get what 'non-fiction' meant? Just something that's "not" fiction? So basically I just wrote something diary like... Not sure if it's interesting or not, but here goes. I guess I could've written alot more about it. But I feel, that I wrote enough. /Kind regards, William - Comments are as always welcome. p.s. What I might be insecure about is if the title works, within the english language? What I mean by the title is that; I and the subway get along. p.p.s - I can see myself struggling with the present time and the past time, in writing form though. Going through this myself.
The Subway and I don’t clash
The Subway. I never actually thought that it was such a nice and interesting place, well as long as the station is comfortable, clean and organized. I ran into some very interesting people today while working; I work as a delivery boy or you may call me a “walking ad”, basically I wear a huge vest that says “Metro”. It’s a daily newspaper. I get up 5 AM and get home at about 11:30. It’s my first job. I actually liked it, maybe cause I been so isolated lately, so alone, and suddenly I am in female company, and that’s the best mood boost I can get. I work with some nice people at least, and the other “Walking Ads” from the other daily papers also work close by. I think what I liked the most was that the people that I made eye contact with mostly smiled at me, it feels good, I smiled back naturally. As a nervous kind of guy I am of course very self-aware, it’s a bit of a pain as usual, but It doesn’t control me and neither does my anxiety. I am very worried that the woman, that me and this other guy we work with doesn’t like me though, everyone has to, how could they not like me? Sure I can be pretty transparent at times but I’m generally a very nice person. I was very comfortable. I haven’t been that in a while. Staying inside at home can get a bit tedious sometimes. Working at the subway station, I am something that helps other people. It’s obviously easier to take the paper i'm offering rather than the one in the pile, and they seem to like me greeting them. I only greet those who reach for a paper though, I call it “ A paper greet “ take a paper and you get a nice greet from me. And I guess this might feel a bit cocky but walking in the uniform like that makes me feel very secure about myself. It gives me a set identity, I know what I am at that moment and I know what my purpose is. It feels great. I haven’t got much more to say about this really. It was my first day. Tomorrow is my second, let’s hope it’s as good. /Your dearest paperboy
