Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky. Shine on you crazy diamond.
I'm not good with a lot of people fawning over me. I'm not good with a lot of people staring at me. It makes me feel uncomfortable, even at certain once-in-a-lifetime moments when it shouldn't.
True story: the other night, me and 5 other women are standing around. One of them pipes up, "Kim has never looked so cute. I have never seen her wearing cute earrings and cute outfits. She just looks so cute today."
I stood there, trying to smile, trying to change the subject, whilst everyone is staring at me.
All I heard is, "Kim is ugly and today she kind of looks cute."
I heard this version because I ALWAYS try to look "cute" around this group. I swear, I always DO look cute.
What's weird is that I've been getting a lot more attention lately and not for reasons you would think. And the cute comment came, even as I stared at all of them with a big black shiner under my eye.
You see, I was wrestling with my Little One over the weekend, and he gave me a head butt. And it hurt like a god damned mother fucker.
And now everyone is staring at me, and I hate every minute of it.
Except that this time, perfect strangers are constantly staring at me, whispering, creating a story in their world about why I have a black eye. They are trying to figure me out and they are oh so wrong.
