My Shoulders

Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?

… I consider an off limit zone to the vast majority of humans. A few weeks ago someone aggressively grabbed my shoulder while I was walking past him & redirected my entire body in his direction. He had NO business touching me. He’s never touched me. I looked at his hand (on my shoulder) with displeasure & then look him in his eyes. He offered a smile even more off putting than THINKING it was fine & good to touch me. When he took his hand off me I turned away & moved on. That ‘was’ the action I took. Had I an inkling he was gonna do that, I’m not even gonna ‘say’ what I would’ve done. It will be in his best interest that it doesn’t happen again.
