Strappy tops and bare knees

Sunday

Yes, the blog title was correct.  Today I am wearing no sleeves and my knees are showing.  Yes, on a Sunday! 

I have come to a place in my life of not caring what people think of me... Sometimes I will know what they're thinking because they're actually verbalising it but other times I won't.  

So I'll tackle this from two sides. 

Firstly sometimes people will think and verbalise what they are thinking.  Sometimes they won't.  Sometimes they verbalise without thinking or a better word would be processing.  Some people say everything that comes in their mind.  They don't have a filter.  Others will say something thinking that you won't understand.  Yes this is from experience.  

This happened.  I was back in SA and a woman at the teller said to the packer ... "This woman has no boobs (meaning beasts)"... I can understand isiXhosa in part.  So I knew they were talking about me so I enquired to which she then told me her thoughts.  

Other times people won't say what they're thinking but we can feeeeel it or see it by their body language.  Other times our "feelings radar" is completely off and we actually don't actually mind read every time.  Funny that!  As woman I think we expect our mind reader to always be 100% accurate every time.  

See sometimes we let the lies of the evil one to come into our thoughts and completely paralyze us.  We must gaurd against these thoughts and remember to whom we belong to!  Im writing this because this is a reminder to myself: "be kind to yourself girl... Don't worry about what people think.  Plus sometimes you'll interpret correctly... Other times, not!  You are beautiful.  You are enough."
