It’s not Monday but it’s not Friday yet either
Earlier today, I found myself in one of those moments that starts as inconvenience and ends as a sudden test of restraint, strength, and boundaries. I was running the risk of being late for work, so when I saw the bus pulling in, I made the split-second decision to board. A woman entered just ahead of me, and as soon as I stepped inside, I realized the bus was already at capacity. I had my mini backpack strapped on, two side bags, and a Target bag carrying items for my new locker…in other words, I was bulky, awkward, and doing everything in my power not to knock into anyone.
