Also, I have to stress how exhausting it is to have randoms try to hit you up for a date when you're just going out in ratty sweats for - in my case - 4 eggs, a tomato, an onion, and a bag of cream.
I understand that we live in a lonely world, but folks really don't seem to realize how lonely they can make a person feel by trying to make a stranger feel bad for not giving their number / going for a coffee".
Leveraging another's desire to live in peace in one's neighbourhood is a shitty tactic.
That last post brought to you by:
This morning's egg run!
After yesterday's egg run with a different dude pulling a similar stunt!
And to be clear, it's not just a Colombian thing. In Canada, I used to work at a bookstore where I was alone for the final hour. You bet your bippy that I was not *actually* alone in the store for that final hour most days.
My dudes.
We need to build better communities of care.
This is not the way to heal the loneliness in so many hearts.
@MLClark You are brave. Social pressure or their anticipation is one of the things that keeps me in the house.
Oh, I am so glad you do what you need to, to keep your beautiful heart hippity-hopping without more distress than life already throws our way. You are *wise* to keep your courage for the confrontations that matter most. ❤️
@MLClark I also have a very well trained partner that is willing to do the store-foraging!

*pat pat* Good partner! 😊 Teamwork makes the dream work!
