I was sitting right below the electronic arrival information dashboard. And I sat there for almost an hour. People were standing in front of me while glancing at the electronic dashboard. Many people came and went while I sat and waited. Nobody but a gentleman gave me a quick glance before looking up at the dashboard.
It then donned to me that I was sitting at the most insignificant spot with the bird-eye view of my surrounding. The prime attraction at the spot was the information above my head. I was a nobody to my surroundings when I planted myself on the seat right below the dashboard. While I was waiting for him, my mind wondered. It is human nature to start with negative thoughts and I always make an appoint to counter balance it with positive ones. – Is being deference a virtue that I stand for? Did I stifle my life by being a conformist ? Am I always striving to blend in with crowd ? Am I afraid to be different ? Am I in the picture to make others look better in comparison ? I will take this time to absorb my surroundings especially what is fashionable from abroad. While others are not focused on me, I can reflect without interference.
Like everyone else in the arrival lobby, the goal was to pick up someone and for me, it was my boyfriend. I saw him approaching on the television monitor. I left my seat and scurried in front of the crowd. I planted a long kiss on his lips and we headed home.
