Tonight, I was reminded that I too am a person. I’ve been regarded as only an object for so long, I’d forgotten what it was like to have a real conversation, to be seen as a person rather than the means to someone else’s craving. Tonight, I was actually recognized beyond what someone else wanted from me.
And in the end, the most unexpected realization came to be how caring they were of the truths I spoke. I can’t remember the last time anyone has shown me such kindness…I can’t remember the last time I returned home with my dignity still intact.
