TeaHab

“I want to start by saying…I’m innocent. But……………………someone got into a one-sided argument with me again…at my niece’s school yesterday. It was basically an escalated misunderstanding. Then………….after not invoking my birth mate’s colorful commentary today in the chat, I was reminded that seeing something differently than someone else…shouldn’t always lead to me attempting to explain how wrong they are. This reminder only came after I accepted that when they gossip gworl our interactions, it won’t sound anything like my version. Because we don’t think alike. Is this an admission of guilt? I feel attacked…again. Now I’m trying to figure out how to wean my psyche off of inviting myself to sip tea…with people who’ll never speak the same language as me.”
