The world on his face and the devil on his back. Great line. I’ve known many guys like this and you clearly disarmed and redirected his potential toxicity with every ounce of your humanity. You’re shamanic, Julie. You journey into these parallel worlds that are given existence by the very fact that you happen to notice something different in the mundane. You bring back stories that are medicine for the rest of us. Apologies for my metaphysical meanderings, but I hope you get what I’m trying to say.
Oh thank you Christian. Sometimes I wonder what to write about but I enjoy people watching or little mundane seeming interactions like this. They are the real belly of life aren’t they? The woods and fields of humanity. More life is found there than in the flowery borders.
Your writing is beautiful Julie. I always thought it was on Twitter but reading your posts and poetry on here without limitations ... you have such talent.
I missed out the bit where he told me “I’d shag you I would”🙄 and tried to stick his hand inside my bag to *help me look* for whatever it was I couldn’t find (apparently) and I had to tell him off;
“What do you think you’re fucking doing?”
“Oh! I’ve never seen you like that before!”
“Well probably cause you don’t usually start trying to rifle through my bag yer cheeky bastard”
Cheers. I got home yesterday afternoon and thought maybe I could write it up like a little story post. Real people are always more interesting aren’t they?
A captivating and emotive tale. I really enjoyed it. So many people would judge and not interact in these circumstances. I always try and communicate and learn from these experiences. x

Julie, have you thought of putting your writing into a book?
I love reading all that you write, stirs up so many different thoughts and emotions of my own - thanks 😊
Thank you Sharon. That means a lot. Seems like a big commitment/endeavour to be honest. Maybe one day. Appreciate your encouragement x

None of us know how life is gonna go for us. I think treating people as you’d want to be treated goes a long way.
Absolutely. I have been close to rock bottom myself. Anyone is only just one bad decision or one bad day away from a completely different life. x
He is quite a sweet character really although I have to tell him to rein it in sometimes.
