Real life exists with me putting up a smile and acting like I'm not offended by everyday comments.
truth is, I am offended. I am hurt. I do want to slap you across the face for saying those words.
But that is only in my virtual world. In my real life I will laugh at jokes. I won't even blink when you complain about how tough your life is with your kids. I'll just empathize. I'll keep my one glass of wine all night. I will continue to pretend that I trust that you will keep my secret safe, even when it has become obvious that you have shared my struggle with the new friends at the party. Will I forgive you? In the real world it may seem that way. But my virtual self has kicked your ass out of the game and banned you for life.
what am I grateful for?
