Awkward…it looks weird with the ‘wkw’ all right next to each other. Its basically the word of the week, nah, the word of the month. Awkward switches are being flipped left and right. The silent pauses are almost becoming normal. One ‘one liner’ after another, spaced out by awkward silent pauses. And the silent pauses almost request another one in order to break the silence. And I keep going on and on, until awkward becomes normal. It all started with one strange morning of awkward conversations with people I didn’t know well enough…now they are everywhere.

awk·ward
\ˈȯ-kwərd\
1. lacking dexterity or skill
2. showing the result of a lack of expertness
3. lacking ease or grace
4. lacking the right proportions, size, or harmony of parts
5. lacking social grace and assurance
6. causing embarrassment

So many awkward moments in the last month, I don’t even want to attempt to list them…partially out of fear of ‘awkward aftermath’…and other things that could stir when you kick up old dirt. Perhaps not everyone realized the awkwardness, then how might they feel now? Do yourself a favor, embrace the awkwardness.
