Red, white, and blue…yes I love my country.

sorta.

I’m going to start walking more.  Today I walked 30 minutes from this herbal market in my neighborhood and it actually felt good to just slow down and really enjoy this beautiful day.  I didn’t have to put up with other people and their attitudes, annoying high schoolers,  or stink buses or dollar vans.  It was really nice.

I realized people really hate women. So much so, even women hate women.  When you hate yourself, you gotta get critical. Women will do whatever it takes to separate themselves from other women and align with men. 

A few weeks ago I tweeted something like: “That coworker that’s always extra happy««”

Well yesterday I found out that that overly happy coworker was molested and abused as a child.  I found out that she was accused by her own family members of liking it.  After her friend had been raped a few years later she finally went to the cops about her own molestation. The police told her that they didn’t believe her and that she probably liked it too.  They told her friend, who was raped in an alley, that “Sometimes girls like that.”  She told me that she was bulimic and used to cut her self.  She told me that she still struggles with an abortion she had after graduating high school.  She told me about her crackhead aunt who was also raped and molested for years as a child.  She told me about her father who would beat her brother every single day so he “would stop being gay.”  She told me about how her father threatened to kill her brother, and told him that he hopes he “gets shot and dies.”

So the co-worker who annoyed the hell out of me with her over joyous personality, who I thought was naive and ditsy because of her childlike optimistic outlook, turns out to have been through more adversity than most people twice her age.  She told me she feels like she’s happy it was her because if it wasn’t her, it would have been someone else, and she wouldn’t want anyone else to go through what she’s been through.  I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say something so selfless.  The everyday things people complain about and get upset over are so trivial to her.  So now I understand why she is the way she is.  I even admire her.

Everything in this post isn’t even a 1/3 of her story. I feel silly for all the things I’ve ever complained about.  She made me realize how fortunate I am and how much I really do have to be happy about.  I mean if she can smile every day, and look at every day in such a positive way with every thing that she deals with, so can I.   If my worst problem in life is the fact that my job sucks, I’m a pretty fucking lucky person!

I learned so much from her and I really hope I can adopt her outlook to my life everyday.
