Ah, People.

For as long as I lived, people and relationships would continue to baffle me.
        Arguments, disagreements, estrangements, misunderstandings-conflict was always an unsigned for attachment in a relationship, never mind the level of intimacy. As a peace lover, I had successfully evaded conflict, at every bend and turn, in each and every one of my relationships. However, a chain of unpleasant incidents which should remain unnamed here made me wonder if running away was such a good idea after all.
        I always believed secret had a mysterious yet miraculous way of binding friends in a tight circle. Secret sharing entitled a bond of trust and responsibility. Despite the uncomfortable awkwardness, I was overjoyed whenever my friends shared a secret with me. Sadly, they didn't. In fact, I was the last one to learn of anything. The chain of unpleasant incidents aforementioned handed me the hard cold truth : I did not belong anywhere.I would always be a stranger. An outcast. A lonesome spectator in the dark corner.
        In my defence, I only had this to say : I might be boring, but trust me, I'm the most reliable friend you would ever find.
