Yesterday I had to speak up in front of a class of about 100 kids and I totally antisocial-ed it up as always.
My face was hot as hell and I was seconds away from crying. The girl next to me turned to me and said “you did great”. And even though I was still embarrassed, I kept thinking “if she thinks I did good than fuck everyone else.” I don’t know her name but she was really nice and I haven’t stopped thinking about it.
I’m a cynic and I tend to see the worst in people but sometimes I am surprised and she really surprised me. Now I think about my stupid fumble and smile instead of cringe. I just felt like I needed to post about it instead of letting it become an unspoken blip in my life.
