adequate.

I had a really nice encounter today. I guy on the bus, did the smile exchange as random strangers and left the bus remaining as stranger.. But about 20m up Adelaide St this guy yelled out to me.
"Excuse me?"
..."Hey."
"I just wanted to tell you, I think you're really beautiful."
"... Oh wow, thankyou."
"Honestly, I think you're gorgeous. How's your day been so far?"
"Haha, um really good. I'm presenting a speech in like an hour about anthropology."
"Wow! Um, good luck. I'm Sean by the way."
"Charli."

A lingering handshake.

"I'll see round Sean... I ah, work at the bakery there in Bardon."
"Cool, see you round."

I walked off, got half way across the lights and thought I owed it to him to turn back around. As silently promised he was looking after me, and waved. I waved back with my hand tucked into the sleeve of my jumper.

It was just nice to be told that by a stranger. And to know that other people are in the world that think its acceptable to go up to people like that. I just like that feeling.
