December Evolution / Taking a stand.

[Ripe]

You know what really sux? The other day, when H came in here full of threats and lovely name-calling (f'ing c*nt seems to be his favorite) my heart started to slam. It really hurts when it does that, so I grabbed my chest. It's kind of a reflexive move - I wasn't even aware I was doing it. He started mocking me. "Oh, no! Your heart! What if you die?"

As a man, after reading this, I feel ashamed.
In my profession I deal with the scum of the hearth. I have personally been threatened and insulted. My mentor taught me this after some "friend" threw him a shoe: I am not offended by those who try to. I only get offended by those I let.
Please, don't let that happen. Think about those who love, respect and think about you.
These are the ones who deserve your thoughts and heart.
