Do you ever imagine the person whom you'd be if your childhood was as it was supposed to be instead of what it was?
Do you ever think of how you'd talk, dress and be different if you had gotten the love, support and care you needed?
Do you know who you would be? Can you recognize yourself in that person when you meet them?
Well, I did today when I went to clean for a new client.
It was my new client's girlfriend.
I met her this morning as I went into the house to clean and she was on her way off to work.
She was so beautiful. And I don't mean like the Covergirl-Vogue-etc.. beautiful-not a model beautiful-although she was very pretty. But her nose was a little too long and she didn't have that "taken care of" look to her. No, she was beautiful in the way that she was refined.
And although we only made small talk- I could tell that she is very highly intelligent.
She was so well spoken and well mannered; she wasn't uptight but was friendly and warm.
She had the little bun on the nape of her neck, hardly any make up except lipstick and she dressed conservatively.
As we spoke together-I looked at her with an admiration that both inspires and angers me.
I know she's who I would be like if I had a happy childhood. I just know it. And it makes me mad to know what I've missed out on and yet it inspires me and fills me with hope that maybe, just maybe, there's still a chance.
(yeah right)
Anyway-I just wanted to share that. I wanted to know if anyone else has ever had this kind of experience.
