Sunday: a slap in the face, tea and advice.
It’s just an ordinary boring Sunday. My friend Bella comes over. She greets me with a kiss on the cheek and she says agitated “Why am I always afraid of everything? Why can’t I just do things that I want to do that I don’t have the courage to do?” while standing and walking around in circles. Then I say “Do you really want me to answer to that? Because you’re a coward, that’s why”. She turns to me with this furious look on her face and then I start to see everything in slow motion, her right hand slowly becomes bigger and bigger while approaching my face and then when I less expect it I am being slapped by a woman in my own apartment and it’s not even about a man.
People tend to get a little too defensive when they’re told the truth.
The truth is important, but apparently you have to learn how to present it to others.
I made tea. She apologized and was embarrassed about the soap opera drama. I told her not to worry about it. The good thing is she got everything off her chest and that I was able to give her advice without having to get hurt.
Don’t be afraid. Be you. Be free. Live. Life is wonderful. Don’t spend your life time worrying about what others will think. It’s your life and, as far as I know, there’s only one.
That's basically the summary of what I said to her. I just thought I’d share the story.
Have a great return from Spring Break and do the best you can at everything you do.
