The last few days my life has been demoralized by two words. Don’t pry. What does this even mean? Where does the line exist? Where does the rights or acceptable begin and end? I just don’t know.
I struggle with this. Never in my entire life have I had someone say this to me. Not once. I don’t get it. I also don’t understand why this world keeps backing me up into these corners. I feel like the dog who is being yelled at for peeing on the carpet. The dog doesn’t understand why he wasn’t allowed to pee on the carpet. So there he is, backed into a corner with his face down, being pointed at and told to stop. The dog may even be punished by having his faced smudged into said pee. To teach him it was the wrong thing to do.
Let’s rewind. I didn’t pee on any carpets.
I didn’t realize that a simple- “Are you okay” was considering prying. I didn’t know that being concern was equal to peeing on the carpets.
