XENOPHOBIA....AN ACTUAL WORD...
XENOPHOBIA: FEAR AND HATRED OF STRANGERS OR FOREIGNERS OR OF WHAT IS STRANGER OR FOREIGN.
What an interesting fear?
We ar all taught growing up not to talk to strangers, not to stick foreing objects in our mouths--- fear towards the unknown is istilled in us from day 1...
Luckily we grow- up and realize that taking chances is an necessary, if not essential, part of life. Strangers aren't all bad and foreign things can be exciting.
Yesterday--- I had a beautiful experience that changed my whole day around and made me really think.
After making the mean entry about the man who did my nails I went to CVS to pick up some stuff I needed to get ready for a dinner outting. The clerk was rude at first but then eased up on me... a bit... when he asked me if I had a CVS card I answered, "no". And then the most amazing thing happened--- a good samaritan.--- A total stranger offered their CVS card, something that may seem trivial but really was the sweetest thing anyone has done for me in a while.... needless to say I was very touched... and it totally reminded me of "Pay It Forward" --- which I will. I sound like such a nerd but think about how special that small gesture was... and also think about how often anyone of us really does something like that for a stranger? ... What we put into to the universe is what we get back... and I firmly believe that.
After that event everything was great--- Jair was a total prince last night... as complicated as things are between us right now one thing holds true... I'm madly inlove with him and do believe we'll get back together---
I'l 'splain later Lucy's... xoxo LaLa~
