It was a beautiful day in my house outside. One of the most beautiful I've ever seen...

Normally, people just yell things at me. BAD Things.

But a few days ago, I was perplexed after briefly leaving my house to get a whiff of fresh air. I walked down to my mailbox. I usually avoid all contact when I do this. And yet, for some reason I couldn't understand or fathom, I saw this excited little 7 year old kid leave his house at the same time. He had a sparkle in his eyes I noticed, even from three houses away. He was running down his driveway excitedly, and then it hit me why he was so excited.

He was looking at...me.

That kid was excited to see Me! Of all people! It was like he was thrilled over nothing more than the fact that I was out of my house, outside and he got a chance just to LOOK at me. I've never seen someone, an innocent little kid so excited and happy just to see me, from as far as three houses away. It warmed my heart. Are people actually now starstruck by me?
