As the small bistro warms me I’m hit with the odour of pork fried in butter. The clamour of afternoon voices muffle a familiar rock and roll melody. I smile while ordering a BLT on a croissant with a large coffee. Alone at a table in the sun I read. The world around me fades. I’m free.
And I need all the reasons I can find not to hate myself. But it’s hard. Even the idea makes me shiver. Because I see loving myself like looking down on others. Riding around on a high horse. And I never want to think I’m better then the people I see on the street. The ones who have it rough. The ones who don’t fit in. The ones I see my own face in.
