I've been attacked by a moth

Why a moth?
Why not a spider or a centipede? The least i could kill it.
Even as i type this entry, it's fluttering around my room, with me barely dodging it. It has the largest wing span i've ever seen.

People in Eastern Europe used to fear these creatures- The flapping of it's wing reminded them of German warplanes. I heard that moths are apparitions of the previous dead. Paying homage to the living before deporting it's soul back to the ethereal.

If only i had animal empathy and request it to fly out the door. I know many of you can relate to this whenever a bird or cicada flies into your room and you open all your doors and windows to direct it out. The problem is that it rather stick onto your curtains or go about your furniture.

Speaking of furniture, ever met someone that didn't remember you for the second time? But you remembered and had to put up with the silly introduction all over again.

Sandra: Hi, i'm Sandra
Stan: Hey, I'm Stan and we've met before. We were introduced by Andrew.

Sandra: Oh ya i remembered! ( No you didn't.)
[Slots in a lausy excuse]

You're just a furniture to them. They didn't even noticed you've moved.

Ryan: Do you remember Stan? He was there when Chris got really drunk.
You are just a scene to them.

In some instances, we go out there and try to make many friends.
But at the end of the day, you think you know a lot of people but i guess those people never deserve the memory space in your head.
You just shook a lot of hands. You never signified their presence. When you meet someone, you never took noticed. Just like furniture at a meeting point. Some of us are just made furniture by others. One day you'll realised you're a rusted lamp to others.

I don't have to make an impression to others or try to have an appealling upfront for people that are just too preoccupied with themselves.

Why bother? You'll just shake more hands and realised one day, " Where are all my friends?"

Nothing has changed. You just rearranged your furniture.
3 tables, 2 desks and 6 chairs rearranged is still 6 chairs, 2 desks and 3 tables. Until you signify the people around you.

The moth flew out the door-back to work.

You were attack by a moth? How's that happen? I never heard of anyone that's attack by moth except clothes eaten by moth...

For the second part of the article, the furniture thingy, sometimes it's just hard to remember their faces or sometimes names, esp when I only meet that person once. Or if that person have a weird name that's very hard to remember, esp Indian people who have names that somehow unpronounceable. It's not that I totally forget who that person is, but when I c him or her again, I can at least recognize who that person is. Just like me and Kim. If you ask me to describe her, I might not be able to but if she's there at the party, hell ya, I am able to recognise her.

I get attacked by moths too, damn annoying creatures. Furniture eh? Well, I think you can't remember all the people you meet, but you can make a few memorable moments with some of them. These are the people who actually travel with you in some parts of your life. The rest are just people you see along the journey, whom you may or may not have somehow affected without you knowing it.
