Just passed a lonely hitchhiker while driving home.......I always feel a pang of anxiety and compassion when I pass up a hitchhiker........but I am too scared to stop and give them a ride.
Since I am all alone in the car, and a girl on top of it, I just feel too scared. If something would happen to me then what would happen to Chhaya? Plus my Mom would be heartbroken.
I probably watched too many scary movies about crazy hitchhikers and read some horrible stories too. That's why I don't pick anyone up.
I have given people rides before but I was not alone in the car, somebody was always with me.
And one summer in Europe, I hitchhiked from Grenoble to Zurich together with two other people, and all the way back from Zurich to Grenoble. We got ride after ride, it was great.
But maybe it's different there. No serial killer syndrome.
So now I feel bad cause I didn't pick up that hitchhiker. I am finding some consolation in that I always give girls at work rides home when they don't have a car. Took two home this last week.
Somebody wrote a comment a few blogs ago, asking, basically, if I am writing this blog for nothing?
To answer your question, in case you haven't figured it out yet......I am writing because I think it is fun and because YOU NEED!
Now you know.
It's after 4 am, time for bed.
Goodnight!
