When I was 9-10 years old they got married. He displayed a certain/special interest in me & expressed it aloud many times in her presence. She was threatened. I WAS 10 YEARS OLD. This, on top of the rest of it. It was downhill from there. Full speed. No brakes. No end in sight.
Intuitively Speaking
Do you trust your instincts?
… absolutely! How else must one respond to them?
There Goes the Neighborhood
I was standing, in line, behind a woman before 8:30 this morning waiting to pick up my free slippers complimentary of Target! NEXT THING I KNOW, said woman had gotten loud & disrespectful with the woman waiting on her. While ‘going off’, she was expressing WHY she was going off/being a bully. It was 8:30 A.M. At NO time of day was this necessary. Assuming it would soon been over, I prepared myself, as best I could, for when the ‘out of control’ one turned around to face me. When she did, I stood my ground & looked her in her face, she walked past me & our eyes never met. It was now my turn. I stepped up to the counter & was greeted by the customer service lady who was visibly shaken. I wished her a good morning & told her that ‘that’ had nothing to do with her & to not let ‘that’ live inside her. She thanked me, helped me with my pick up order & wished me a good day … as she always does.

I’ve never ‘lost’ respect for anyone to have ‘found’ it again.
