When you’re drowning in an ocean, anything floating in that water looks like a potential life raft. You’ll grab onto it hoping and trusting it’s going to save you. It feels like a blessing, the answer to your problem.
Some “evil” people count on that. They seek out desperation because they know it impairs judgment. They know our need will cause us to see treasure in fool’s gold.
I have been fooled so many times like this. And I’d like to tell you a little bit about it.
What if they don’t have an attitude? What if they’re just having a bad day, week, month, semester, school year? What if they’re not being rude, they’re sad, lonely, overwhelmed, feeling left out, unattractive, or disappointed in themselves?
What if it’s not about you?
Do you remember those infomercials for that countertop cooking appliance where they would say, “set it and forget it?”
I never really thought about it before, but I now acknowledge that society trains us to mind everybody’s business. And I’m honestly over it. #backtoschool #singleparenting #sneakylinks #exoticdancing #sexwork #patriarchy
