Today’s prompt has my mind all over the place. I’ll be the first to admit that Adam and Eve dressed in fig leaves is the ultimate thought. The second thought is how on numerous occasions, I was under-dressed or felt like I shouldn’t have worn a specific outfit. The third thought is how I cover up my emotions to make others comfortable.
My children attended Christian schools and weekly they would bring home Christ Light, Bible stories series. Thoughts of Adam and Eve standing in the Garden of Eden, clothed with fig leaves, holding an apple was quite the image. Fast forward to a fun fact; Fig leaves are edible. They are processed and used to treat many health disorders and diseases.
Going shopping for a formal outfit to a “Church Gala” can be exciting; until reality settles in. While studying price tags and sales at the clothing store, I began getting frustrated. I then decided on a black dress located in my closet. Days went by and after everything, the dress didn’t work out. I should’ve checked it out prior to finalizing my ticket purchase for the Gala. I would have sold my ticket and stayed home. I let my Mom talk me into wearing another dress and I felt like I was the sore thumb in the room. I was totally embarrassed that everyone had on stylish gowns and I settled for something that looked like a house dress. That’s all I want to say about this!
I often cover up my emotions to make others feel comfortable. When tensions are higher than normal, I allow other individuals to “shine” while I dim the lights how I’m really feeling. One day I want to stand firm and shout, I’m not responsible for making you feel comfortable, I deserve to feel comfortable too!
