A lady walked into my workroom. I had been waiting on her, she had made an appointment a few days earlier. I stood behind my work surface, which puts automatically the required social distance in place. I wore my elephant mask with pride, while she wore nothing to protect herself -or me.
Yesterday, at a neighborhood meeting, things got out of hand quickly. All of a sudden it got personal. Characters came into questioning, past mistakes were brought up to blog the future from happening.
I hurt a kid when I was a little girl. I had said some ugly things in anger, and it made me feel bad later that day when I was back at home. The girl had been mean first -that was my excuse- but still I didn’t feel good about it. I shouldn’t have said the things I said.
I am nice, try to be always
but it is so hard lately
they are testing me left and right
