Back in the dim and distant past, before miscarriage and loss overwhelmed me, I was considered by all who knew me to be a "tree-hugging leftie". By that they meant that even my worst enemy could not call me judgemental.
Not so much now, although thankfully still only to myself. And you, dear interwebs.
Yesterday, on my journey to the dentist, I saw this young girl, couldn't have been more than twenty years old, pushing a pram with a maybe 2-year-old in it. The young girl was also visibly pregnant, and smoking a cigarette. Walking with his arm around her was her, I presume, partner who was smoking what I know was NOT a cigarette. I swear my anger and hatred and judgementalness (what? It's a word) was coming off me in toxic waves.
Eighteen hours later I think that it still is.

sights like that make me so angry as well! there are so many injustices in the world but that right there.... that's near the top of my list!
ReplyDeletei get soooo mad when I see crap like that. I mean seriously, the unfairness of it all that we do everything possible to do things "right" and end up with no baby, while this woman has two. makes no sense!!!!
ReplyDeleteOhh, I am totally judging the pair of them too. JUDGE JUDGE JUDGE. GRRRRRRRRR.
ReplyDeleteBut you're still a sweetheart. Some people NEED to be judged.
Oh you are so much better than me. I would have actually said something to them. Judge away -- you are among (judgemental) friends here.
ReplyDeleteOh wow - unbelievable. Judge away - I do!
ReplyDeleteHence why GOD has no say nor hand in who becomes parents and who does not. I tell you, the more you look around you, the more you will see that this statement is true.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes down to parenthood, it comes down to pure old luck, "GOD" has nothing to do with it. And it would appear that some who don't earn it, get luck by the bucketload while those who do earn it don't.
Meh - it's a sucky world and yes I judge too, though I really really try not to and rarely do on anything BUT this particular subject.

ReplyDeletehugs, honey. i wish i could make it better. and fair.
