About a month ago, maybe two, a coworker whom I had known for a number of years (note: I’m very bad with the concept of time. See a previous post on that.) At any rate, she casually asked about my family: brothers, sisters, etc, Basically normal stuff. I believe I basically answered her questions. I don’t really remember the details, but I do remember answering her questions.
Fast forward to the Thanksgiving holiday. I worked the Monday before Thanksgiving. She asked about my family again, but this time it started with a bucket list of places I’d like to go see.
One of the places is the Redwood forest in California, which this woman had been to. I also mentioned visiting a slot canyon in Arizona and a place in Nevada. She had been to the Redwood forest, but I don’t remember if she had been to one of the slot canyons in Arizona. Anyway, she thought it’d be a great idea if my family and I went together!
What do you say to that? In my head, I’m thinking “I don’t think so” or variations thereof. My family background is not the same as hers. I can pretty much guarantee that. I’ve only me one other person who was like me. Just saying.
It’s not like I go around telling people I was tortured as a child and as a result have multiple personalities, which I am still in the process of healing from.
I will say though, that would probably be the last thing on your mind in talking to me or interacting with me. That’s my take anyway. I’ve been with my current employer for quite a number of years and I am an excellent employee. Yes, there’s been days where something at work has triggered me, and I try to do the best I can when that happens. I don’t always know that right away, but I manage until I can talk to my massage therapist/holistic life coach. I will do a future blog on just how much this person has helped me and the changes that have occurred as a result.
Anyway. More later.
