I am living well, despite what you do :), dream by wombknower -- Sept. 12, 2013
I am back in Thunder Bay. There is some kind of event, like an Annual General Meeting, or a community event of some sort with people from grassroots organizations. I was at home but then I decided to attend. One of the reasons that I was not going to attend was because I was afraid of running into someone. I went anyway, and she was there. I didn't notice her until I had entered the room and sat down. I sat down in the front of the room. I felt good about that. Then, hungry before the start of the event, I walked over to a table and took some snacks. I only took the healthy snacks (fruit, veggies) and not the unhealthy ones (cakes, cookies). As I went to sit down again I saw her, L. ( In waking life, L is a person that I did not want to see because I was upset with the way that she has been treating a person that I am very close to, and how that treatment is impacting me.) I walk right past her but look her in the eye, despite my temptation to lower my gaze. Surprisingly, this action does not create the fear or anxiety that I thought it might've. I continue to my seat and enjoy the event. I won't let another's behaviours mire my happy life.
