Adulthood lesson 1:

I put down ‘self-help’ books maybe a year ago. I felt that I’d gotten addicted (I’d download like 5 books every time I was going through anything foreign), and that most authors spent more time talking about why they were qualified to speak on  what they were speaking on than anything else.

Recently, life has been doing its thing and I thought I’d download a book for that.

I’ve been on the hunt for one, specifically by a black woman (any recommendations anyone?)

But also, I’m a black woman, so here’s lesson 1

Shop keeper:

I recently changed locations, and I became somewhat friendly with this lady cause she was one of the first people to talk to me.

After a while though, I got the impression that I was bothering her when I said hello— she’d never look at me, and she never said hello first.

So, I stopped.

The end.
