Me (talking to myself in my head): Yeah I’ve got my shoes on the train seat. Yeah I do. Yeah my cons are on this train seat and there’s nothing no one can do about it. I do what I want! Rebel without a cause! But I’m tired and I need to be comfortable. Yeah. Rebel.
Cheeky smile to myself.
Old man near me: Excuse me miss…please take your shoes off the seat.
Silence.
Old man raises eyebrows.
Me: Oh my gosh I’m so sorry! I never do that. I’m just heaps tired, you know? They’re not dirty. My shoes I mean. They’re actually quite clean. I’m not really a rebel I just like to think I am sometimes. I honestly never do that sir.
Old man: Just take your shoes off the seat girl.
Me: Oh. Oops. Yeah. Sorry sir. It won’t happen again.
Old man: Good girl.
Sometimes it’s good to go against the grain. Make a stand. Be a rebel.
Sometimes it’s best to be yourself. And if yourself is a slightly awkward girl, who is too polite to always be a rebel, then so be it.
It’s all relative. Just use your brain.
BIG LOVE X
