Went out for groceries, including a couple 5-gallon water jugs. At the checkout, the lovely person at the register says Hi ma’am, pretends not to notice my 5 o’clock shadow that my makeup has for hours failed to hide, tells me she loves my bracelet, and then tells the young men helping bag items to “help this nice lady with her water”.
I’ll be hanging onto that. She was an angel.
Share your stories too, however seemingly silly or gloriously gargantuan!
Yesterday, i was at the hospital waiting for someone I love. Like 6h wait. I had no phone no nothing to help me cope with my ADHD. Between my restless legs and me trying not to fall asleep. No make-up, couldn’t shaved my beard that day… I can finally put that into word. I’m pretty sure I have ADHD now and it makes sense. I just can’t help moving or just trying to focus on something (sensations through fingertips, skin and all… Let’s get back to the topic.)
Anyway in the end everything was fine but while I waited. I was asked “ça va ma belle” by another woman (“are you alright beautiful?”) Would be the closest thing literally but probably would translate it like ( “are you alright love?”) In a friendly manner.
And she asked me about my transidentity and other stuff just a curious person (I saw her wrists with scars and could guess she had probably a heavy past). Anyway it was nice to find someone so friendly and gendering me accordingly at this moment when I was stressing a lot.
