What I Saw in a Coffee Shop That Broke My Heart
It happened just the other day. I was in a local coffee shop, enjoying a decaf mocha and doodling in my sketchbook.
There were two women seated across from me. They were sipping their coffee, chatting and laughing.
The door to the coffee shop opened, and a short woman carrying her laptop strolled in. As she walked past, the women across from me stopped talking. They both watched the woman walk by, observing her closely.
When the woman with the laptop reached the counter to place her order, the other two women leaned in close to one another. One whispered something into the ear of the other, and they both chuckled. It looked to me like they knew the woman who walked in.
The woman with the laptop was friendly and gracious with the barista, thanking him for her coffee drink. She made her way to a seat, opened her computer, and began reading. At one point, she dropped her napkin on the floor.
The other two women laughed at this, and started whispering to one another again. Clearly, they were gossiping about the woman with the laptop.
The worst part was, the woman with the laptop knew it. She could tell the women were staring and talking about her.
Imagine if you had a small camera attached to your shirt, televising your every move. Now imagine the ones you love watching this video of your life. Perhaps your children, spouse, parents or closest friends. Would you be proud of what they saw?
