And we know it's never simple, never easy

Small talk has never been my kind of thing.

If I could choose, I'd rather we could all talk about soul-stirring, reflective things. Things that enabled me to know you, through your thoughts, perspectives and so on.

But the truth is, I don't get to choose. Because until we get accustomed and comfortable with the situation and surroundings, it would just be awkward silences. No place for spontaneous speech. Because even 'Best friends start off as acquaintances', much less, much more. Small talk becomes necessary, whether you like it or not.

What do you do when you have the unsettled feeling?

Can't do anything.
