118. Kidney Stone People
I made another list of people, ones who had passed through
my life like a kidney stone. The list
included a crazy ex-girlfriend or two, and bizarre teachers and professors I
only had to deal with for a semester. People in the E.R. who seemed nice
enough, but who I really didn’t want to see again. Bleacher coaches, and parents
who wanted me to evaluate their eight-year-old’s chances of playing basketball
at a major university. People who said they wanted to discuss religion, but had
no interest in anything I might say. The crazy lady at the gym who talked to me
even though I had my earbuds in, who yelled at me for not having a water
bottle, and who always picked the treadmill next to mine.
The list went on, but luckily for me none of these people
had been part of my life for very long.
Today I will be grateful for
people who, like a kidney stone, have passed through my life.
