I’m kind of down today. I brought the little tower statue I made to class because I wanted to show it to Dottie later on. While I was getting ready for meditation, some girl from the class before ours happened to see it sitting on the floor next to me. Apparently, she didn’t like it too much, because she laughed at it and pointed it out to her friend. I wanted to ask her just what was so funny about it, but I didn’t. I know my statue isn’t perfect. It leans a bit backward and has a crack in the middle, but you have to see it for what it is.

All through meditation I kept trying to put it out of my mind. I told myself that it’s just her opinion and not necessarily anyone else’s. After all, everyone has different tastes and their own expectations of things. Still, that didn’t make it hurt any less.

At least that cute guy wasn’t around to witness any of this. I decided to sit on the opposite side of the room so as not to be distracted by him. I really have to find out his name. I can’t go around calling him “that cute guy” forever!

I met with Dottie afterwards. She said she liked the tower statute even with the crack. That was nice of her to say. Of course, feeling the way I did, I didn’t really believe her. We had dinner together, but I really had lost my appetite. sad
