Age of Empathy

I Got Slut-Shamed at a Church Halloween Alternative Event

Yes, I was showing some cleavage. Yes, it was at church. In my defense — God created breasts and they are beautiful, I was far from indecent, and if you are well endowed there are few clothing options that don’t highlight your chest.

The older I get, the less I know. That won’t stop me from writing about everything and anything under the sun. Join me in delighting and despairing about life.
