Growing up in a neighbourhood, there will be times while walking to the grocery store, to school or to college, where you will exchange glances with your neighbours. Those which you do not know very well, having not talked to them before. But you see them often, that is 3-4 times a week while walking, jogging or whatsoever.
But yet you do not know them, when you walk pass them, dilemma overwhelms you. You ponder in your mind whether to smile at them or to just look away and pretend that nothing has happened. But not knowing them, you somehow know their progress in life, as they moved on to high school, college, uni, work. You know which phase they exactly are at, at least for some. You watch them grow; and vice versa.
Awkward feeling, yes I do feel them.
Do you?
I'll flash them a smile when I meet them next time, afterall, I grew up with them.
And really, at this age, how many of us really know our neighbours well?
