The Talking Woman
There is a woman I’ve known all my life, though I’ve only just begun to understand her. She is loud in her silence, soft in her loudness—an enigma wrapped in layers of words, emotions, and contradictions. Her voice is never one thing; it fluctuates, shifts, grows louder or softer, depending on the space she’s in and the people around her. She speaks, but more often than not, the silence between her words is what lingers the longest.

Tell Me I Am Not
My friend reached out to you to ask if I was okay. You had no idea where she got the idea I would not be. You had no clue what the ask was in reference to or why the thought would ever occur to reach out to you. The idea that reaching out to you meant something. Something other than someone giving you attention. That you were not the root cause of the conversation, the reason to start the conversation. This is the smallest of infractions you have committed against me, yet it is sticking in my mind with industrial strength velcro. You were eager to share your response to them was something akin to a nonchalant “of course she’s fine.” You chose to follow this with an unsurprising and unprovoked inclusion of yourself, and how what may have somehow convinced her to possibly think I was not okay was due to something you were also *not* experiencing along with me. The automatic action of bringing yourself into something that started with me. As if it was even in the realm of possibility that we shared the same experience, the same life event, the same emotion. As if you would discern if I had experienced something other. We did not live the same reality. We never would.

Be Careful Of Who You Associate With
A good way to examine someone’s character and moral values is who they surround themselves with. Whether they are a friend, a family member, a public figure, or even someone in the workplace, you can tell a lot about someone based on who they spend their time with or confide in. One key trait that is often undervalued is knowing how to spot someone who is not just friendly, kind, and decent but who values this kind of traits and characteristics in other people whom they surround themselves with professional and/or personally.
