I had an experience today at whole foods where a cashier asked me if I wanted a double bag (in a condescending tone that implied I should only want one because that means I care about the environment) and I said ‘well, I’d like the bag to ensure that the 100$ worth of vegetables inside it won’t fall through the bottom’ and the he said ‘so, do you want a double bag?’ And I was completely over everything and everyone in general in that moment so I said ‘just give me whatever you think, I don’t want to continue this conversation. I just want to take my vegetables and go’ and he got super frustrated with me for being frustrated and said ‘sorry I’m new here. You didn’t tell me how many bags you wanted’ and essentially threw my bags towards me (and let’s b real Kung fu fam… I think he knew at that point that I probably wanted a double bag for my wet vegetables) so, I said ‘yeah, and if you could not throw my shit at me that would be great’ and he said ‘yeah, well, I’m human you know’ and I said ‘yeeeah, me too’ and he bid me a sarcastic ‘have a nice day’ And in that moment I had two options. I could’ve been the smart ass that I am and said something like ‘clearly, it can only get better from here’ or ‘go fuck yourself’ But instead, I said ‘I hope you have a nice day too’ Now… I’m not always peaceful. There are certainly times I’d have drove the word dagger in deep and gave it a twist. Return to sender, reveal the vast sea of pain and torment beneath the surface of my courteous young woman’s smile, but not today. I chose the peaceful path because I didn’t want to escalate, I want to show him mercy. To show him compassion. It wasn’t something specific, it was more of a godly thing, like, sometimes you just know that you’re the one who’s gotta give someone a taste of their own medicine and sometimes you know you’re the one that’s gonna create a little space for someone else to devolve into a wild animal. Focusing on peace as a rule is a high aspiration, but often I prefer to focus on what’s really going on in my heart and soul. Maybe it’s because I believe that everything happens for a reason.

The sun is actually the most in Taurus on my birthday. I’m the bull-iest bull of them all!

I have premonition dreams. Especially about people I love. I also have a tendency to cross paths with people if I’m unable to reach them by regular means.
