Had an encounter with the police tonight

I went to an LGBTQ event in my town and tried really hard to make friends. But I couldn’t because I’m very quiet and even when I do talk nobody has any real interest in getting to know me.

So I left that place really depressed and called an UBER to pick me up. The UBER driver was pretty concerned about me. I must have been giving off sad vibes. Because he was really trying to cheer me up and told me that tomorrow is another day. All that stuff.

So I get dropped off at my house. Then because I’m still sad and have horrible insomnia. I decide to walk around the park by my house.

I walk around the park at night with my headphones in. After about 30 minutes a cop car pulls up and a police officer gets out of the car and starts questioning me.

He seemed confrontational at first but when he looked me in the eyes, he got really kind and compassionate. He said that the park is closed at sunset and he is concerned for my safety.

He also explained two years ago someone committed suicide at this park and that he wants to make sure I’m okay. I tell him I’m fine and that I was just having a bad night, so I came out to take a walk.

He told me that he hopes my night gets better and left.
