bliss-sad's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Went to lunch today with my work friends. It felt so good to be included. I made a comment about not getting as much done this week, as we've got an employee in the office who is transitioning from working remote and she's a bit of a yapper. One of my co-workers told me that it's probably because I'm a safe space--that when she was first hired, I was the first person to make her feel comfortable and "part of the team". It was the best compliment I could've ever gotten, as it's all I've ever wanted. Sometimes I still see myself as the 13 year old girl that nobody wanted to sit next to in the lunch room, the girl who people would recoil from if their shoulders brushed in the hall, the girl who would cry herself to sleep because she was so lonely that it physically ached. I wish I could go back in time and tell her that one day people would not only see her, but like her--that one day people would enjoy sitting next to her and hearing what she had to say--that she is lovable, and that one day others would see it too. 1:45 p.m. - 11.07.24 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
