About the Creator

Kristen Balyeat

Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night—I’m humbly one of the vessels they use to come to life.

Also, i love you:)

    Love this one, Kristen! Such an awkward situation when it happens, lol.

  • Omg this was brilliant how many times has this happened to every single person on the planet??

  • Your final words were the ones I always ask under such circumstances. Oddly enough, no one ever seems to be inclined to answer, "Yes."

    Hi - 'K' ~ Just couldn't resist sharing how this popped out a memory: I played the lead (1 performance) in a "King & I" high school production; I still have the program booklet. When the 'Shall we Dance' number came up I got stage-fright-frigid. Never performed again. Come-on that's funny, Kristen. btw; want a Giggle you may relate to? View 'Heartsy' in Humor.

  • Lol! It'll be the most awkward dance ever! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    … and that’s exactly what I’ll say next time this happens to me 😂

    🤣🤣🤣 Great one, Kristen! I think we've all been there!

    Haha, this is great! Love the addition of the word "oopsie," as I firmly believe these awkward shuffles always bring out the "golly willikers" and its relatives. Well done!

    This is very relatable! Can just picture the embarrassment! But we all do it. I really hate the old someone waving at you embarrassment! (As then you realise it was to someone else behind you). 👋 😆 ☹️

    Haha. This is great, and most surely relatable to most of us.

    Yeah, it can actually go on infinite loop. Cool poem of those corner moments!

  • I remember the day this happened to me 3 times in Walmart on the same day lol 😆I started to grab my bags and run for the door 🏃…
