I Love Summer Dresses

I wore one of my light summer dresses with sandals to work today. I didn't think twice about dressing this morning, I just wanted to feel comfortable and colourful. But I am working with women from other countries and cultures and there were times when I felt vulnerable and exposed. Some of them stared at me. Others touched my arms and legs, which made me quite nervous. Perhaps I am over-reacting, because no one actually said anything and the majority were being very friendly. But unfortunately I was not completely comfortable 😟

My dearest sister,

I am terribly sorry about what has happened to you. Sometimes, I get awkwardly stared at in public, and people who look different than me can appear to be judging me, which makes me feel strange and uncomfortable, as well. :( Physical contact from people who you don't know very well can be scary, and I think that rckt148 is right in mentioning that no one has the out-and-out right to touch you. Please know that you are not alone. I will pray for your feelings of uncomfortableness to leave you.

If you ever want to talk about it, please know that I am here for you. :) The reason why I unfortunately haven't been able to talk quite as much on here is because I am in the middle of something that I am sure will hopefully make you very happy once you know what I am working on! :) Please stay strong for me, and here is a link to a song by Scottish artist Julie Fowlis that I coincidentally dedicated to you called "A’ phiuthrag ’sa phiuthar", or, "O sister, beloved sister": https://similarworlds.com/4157736-I-Like-Celtic-Music/2104854-This-is-a-song-by-the-Scottish-artist-Julie-Fowlis . I truly hope that you enjoy this video, and know that you are never far away from me, ever, dear sister.

Lots of love from me to you! 💖💖💖

no one has a right to touch you no matter what you wear ,
and what you wear is not a sign "Rape me " or its ok to touch me .
But I have always cautioned my girls to not bring unwanted attention to themselves ,,
If they are careful ,it keeps me from having to killing perverts that way .
in todays society,asking People ,not just men ,to have and show a little self control is getting tougher .
If they solicit undercover cops in city parks just sitting on a bench
expose themselves and do lewd acts ,being warned a sting will be going on .
Sorry to say its a sign of the times ,and its not going to get better
It is going to come down to "What you have a right to do "
And when and where is it wise to do it ,
but it is sad when you can't even feel comfortable around co workers at work
