To The Man I May Have Threatened At The Light Rail Station

Tell me to smile one more time. I dare you.

To The Man I May Have Threatened At The Light Rail Station
Bustle

Let me first start out by saying exactly how sorry I am.



I am sure that you thought you were perfectly polite approaching me. I am sure that you thought I should be happyfor gaining the attention of someone who had a bit too much to drink by 10:30 in the morning. I know that my reaction was not what you were expecting, a pretty girl like me. Who would expect such a foul mouth? I'm sure I looked safe enough to approach.

I wonder if you practiced what you going to say to me. Was my beauty so rare, I wonder, that you became a little tongue tied? There I stood, wearing dirty black jeans and a gray band tee, face without a speck of makeup, I mean, how could one resist? Yes, perhaps I was asking for the negative attention with my attire. That is what they say, correct? Maybe you saw just a little too much of my neck and wrists, I should have covered myself more.


I've got to hand it to you, though. Your opening line was so creative, I've definitely never heard it before! "Hey, sexy!" you said. I mean, there's no way you came up with that on your own! Kudos to you, sir.

And what did I say next that made you a little mad? I think it was no thank you. But you know, now that I think about it, I was completely out of hand. And you almost won me with your next line. "I've always wanted to try a chocolate girl!" Sexism and racism? What did I ever do to deserve such a prince charming?

To be fair, your reaction to my next response was really rude. You told me something you've always wanted to try and I figured you'd be open to hear about my own desires. I only told you how I've always wanted to shove someone's nose bridge into their brain. I only thought we could knock out two birds with one stone, but no, you decided to get angry.

Your masculine rage was almost award worthy. I bet you just couldn't believe that someone was immune to your charming self. You really ran for the gold when you said how lucky I was we were in public, telling me exactly how you would make me sorry for rejecting you. I didn't mean to laugh, sir, and I'm being honest. It's just very hard for me to imagine someone of your small build actually holding me down long enough to inflict any damage. I mean, I know that I look tiny and weak, but believe me when I say you would've had a hard time walking away. Because I did mean it. I have always wanted to shove someone's nose bridge into their brain. I've always wanted to practice my right hook on an actual face too, so, just give me a reason sir.

I guess what I'm really trying to say in this "letter" is that I'm not sorry at all for threatening you. I am sorry, however, that we still live in a society where women have to deal with shit like this. I'm sorry that men feel so justified in their anger when someone spurns their advances. I'm sorry that this patriarchal society likes to make women feel to blame when situations like these occur. But, I will never be sorry for telling a man no.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
