Things that crossed my mind today:
- When I am not in the mood to deal with people, it happens quite suddenly, and you can tell because I am deathly quiet and you just know I am thinking humanity is on my shit list at that precise moment.
- I can’t even pretend to enjoy or want to be a part of a conversation about weddings and children. Such a conversation would require me having had a few drinks. This is null and void if you are one of those few people who is getting married or having a child and doesn’t feel the need to overshare, and I actually ask you about your wedding or child.
- People will go a long way to try to pretend they are enjoying your company while they are really thinking they can’t wait to escape your presence. If you pay attention, you’ll actually learn to recognize the look.
- Some people need to listen before they answer. Example: Question: Have the cats been inside at all today? Answer: We can’t let them in right now because there are people coming. My thought: Did you ear the question? How does that answer the actual question?
- I felt comfort and smiled widely when a friend said over the phone, “I hope the place is not filled with kids. I hate children.” He knows he can say it to me without me thinking he is a monster. I am sorry more people can’t understand that not liking children is not equal to being a heartless person. Really.
I’ve had plenty more thoughts today, but those are the ones that lingered. That an idea for a new book. Alas, I have little time to really consider writing anything right now.
Love,
Natalia
Today, I am grateful for: A flexible work schedule.
