I made an 8 yr old boy cry today

I made an 8 years old boy cry today.

He came in because his feet were sore.

I asked him about his weight

and tried to get him onto the scales.

He refused and tears flowed from his face

like I was about to operate on him.

His mother tried to console him

And assured me that she understood my actions

And that she was on the same wavelength as me.

I can only imagine his pain, shame, helplessness and hopelessness

And the spiral of guilty pleasures which his 8 years old mind struggles to comprehend.

And I can only imagine

the anger, regret, suffering and self blame

After a few years the boy may face

As I, now, hopelessly try to comtemplate

my actions and all that i have said,

my past and the mistakes I've made.

I hope the boy will withstand.

After all, I can only imagine.

and imagine, i can.

雖然我上一篇說關於"朋友"的話,可能會讓你覺得我無情無義

可是

I appreciate the fact that the accepted who I was, obesity and all.

And they acknowledged who I am, obesity and all.

Afterall, I have met some people out there

Who was able to see thru me, adipose tissue and all.

What more can I ask for?
