Uneducated Lady On The Bus
The story
Hello again, it's Caralia.
For background info, I was on the train, reading on my handheld Kindle. I'm minding my own business, tuning out other people. I hear the automated voice of the subway announcing a stop. I look around and notice the man beside me. Short, curly brown hair, on-point, mascara, and some shimmery highlighter. I compliment him, and he thanks me. The woman and son across from us are whispering loudly. "Mommy, why is that man wearing makeup like that lady next to him?" The little boy asked his mother. His mother smiles and replies, "Because he can." She says, then pauses. the man beside me smiles at the boy kindly. The mother finished her long pause and said, "but it's not our business to understand what mental illness he's going through." The man's smile lowkey disappears. I look at him like, 'did she really just say that'.
YALL PLEASE HOW TF DO YOU COME UP WITH THIS.

It's frustrating how some people can be so narrow-minded and make snap judgments about others based on superficial appearances; everyone should have the freedom to express themselves without fear of judgment or misunderstanding.
