Had someone over last night and he literally said “you’re actually kinda cute.” Also before he came over he asked me send a pic proving I wasn’t a catfish. Was he expecting me to look worse in person? I don’t understand.
A non-Black client used the n-word in our group therapy today and I was the only person who heard him. It instantly made me very uncomfortable and I talked my supervisor about it right after. She gave me her support as a white woman and encouraged me to talk to the black therapist and case manager in the office. Idk why but I feel like they’ll just say they ask the client to refrain from using the inappropriate word(s) and just suck up whatever upset feelings they have and continue with providing services. I knew this was definitely something that I was going to experience anywhere I am as a black person, I guess I just thought I’d be able to not let it affect me like it is affecting me now.
being on tumblr at weird hours when just a couple of mutuals are online feels like going to get a glass of water late at night and finding one of your housemates still up like reading a book under a lamp in the living room
Finally had a conversation with the guy at the gym. He told me about his girlfriend about him planning on proposing. I’m so happy for him but I feel like an idiot for thinking those compliments were him flirting.
