This Really Happened
Today, this girl on my bus, who was super mean to me last week, was crying her eyes out. She was crying so much that I was convinced that she would turn the surrounding area into a lake, so before she drowned the bus and doomed us all, I turned around and asked if she was alright. She looked at me as if I had ten heads and asked why would I care and I told her, in my own little awkward way, that it was a very good question lol but I said that I did care and I gave her my pack of tissues from my book bag and I told her that I hoped she felt better. She smiled. I got off at my stop. That was that. I feel good, so good in fact, that I think I’m beginning to learn the art of letting go. Letting go of hurt feelings, grudges, resentment, the list goes on. And it just feels good. I’m glad I did it. Everyone can use some tissues sometimes, even your worst enemy.
