If I Was There...

If I was there I would have said this:

I look at this beautiful plate of food that tastes delicious, this amazing space around me, and the men and women in expensive suits, and I would think that this was once unattainable. I was one of those that never ate at restaurants, but loved vienna sausage over rice, was excited for my sister's bag of cold leftover onion rings after she left work from the cafe, knew we upgraded the canned corned beef when dad added onions, and browsed through the bag of free goods Nana picked up at St. Anne's church. An exciting time was Hometown buffet, when dad picked up a steak and he let me eat the "taba" he refried, or when mom bought Kentucky Fried Chicken after work. I think I was 16 when I ate at my first restaurant with my friend's family and watched carefully at how they ordered. I had a bundle of nerves when it was my turn, afraid of pronouncing food wrong, or eating it incorrectly with the wrong dips and sauces.

Confession: I still own the first blazer I bought for work. I needed it for an interview. I like to believe it landed me the job. I remember a rainy day and I did not have a heavy jacket to wear to school so I wore my sister's jacket. It was from the thrift store and definitely not masculine. I cried on the way to school because I knew I would be teased.

If I was there, I would turn to my left and turn to my right and say I am humbled, apologize for my actions, and say thank you for helping me. When I thought my life was full of NOs, someone said yes to me.

Stand Up for Love

I think Adriana sang this song on American Idol. Wrong song choice I believe. However, the message of the song is something I clearly get. I decided to stand up against negative things in my life. As I can not change the world, I can change the way I react to things in my life. I've decided that I really can't have any negative energy. Since I am anti-bully & anti-negative, I will not allow any negative energy on my news feed in any social media capacity - especially hateful comments on someone's physical looks or appearance. How does that help anything in the world. I feel it comes from deep insecurities so of course someone who hates certain aspects of themselves will only comment on someone else's physical attributes to make themselves feel better. I feel people can change, so I shouldn't eliminate them from my life completely, but I definitely can block them from my feeds! Just a thought for today. So if you seem blocked, don't take it personal, just realize that your energy is just too negative for my taste.
