I never know what to do with my hands


Or my arms, for that matter. Where do they go? If I've got pockets, I'm golden. No pockets? Totally awkward.

I have extra long arms, and somewhat long fingers. I don't know if that's the reason I feel so awkward about my hands and arms, but it might be a factor. I think my awkward hand and arm issue is probably the reason I took up smoking to begin with--something to do with my hands. When I quit (thankfully when I was still young at 21) I carried a book around with me everywhere. So everywhere I used to smoke--train platform, waiting for class to start, waiting for the bus, waiting for a friend--I held a book up to my face. Voila, worked great. Now in those situations I, like everyone else, fuss with my smartphone. Also great for awkwardness.

Heck, maybe everyone feels awkward about their hands and arms. I'm still trying not to, though. I mean, they're not going anywhere.
