There’s Something About Jane

I believe we’ve all been in this world before. There’s nothing new under the sun and neither are we. Have you ever met someone for the first time and for no particular reason, y’all don’t vibe in any fashion? Matter of fact, you can’t stand them and vice versa but have to tolerate each other’s presence for whatever reason.

Well, I’ve a notion you two were married, friendenemies, cousins or had some sorta relations. You end up crossing paths again in the current life and this thing you had going back then is fresh on you, only you have no solid ground for not taking to the person ’cause you can’t recollect that other life. It’s just something about’em, you tell people. You even stutter in thought because you can’t pinpoint a damn thing.

It’s a weird and unexplainable conundrum, to be honest, and I’m certain I’m not the only one. Since nobody’s said it, I’m going to set us all free from this awkward misery, ’cause it’s downright weird, isn’t it?

You’re in the breakroom pouring that third cup of coffee on hump day and here comes that heifer or Bob with his Ivory Soap smelling behind. Just living and breathing like people do. Rrrrrr!

I know we’d all like to be better, reading affirmations and self-help books but truth of the matter is, some of us just aren’t. We’re still experiencing those other people from hundreds or even thousands of years ago. That’s why you have low energy. Be honest. Those affirmations really only work when you’re by yourself or among people who can stand you. All the while, you’re humming yoga beats in your head, still crazy.

I’m so happy I’ve figured this out for us ’cause to be transparent with you, I like Ivory Soap.

    It’s all my mom would allow us to use when we were growing up until she found out that I had allergies and sensitivities and Ivory dried my skin up something awful.

    It’s a throwback soap that brings back memories.

    We’re all so incredibly layered and I’ve been here–the place you’re describing, and I have a co-worker I can’t stand and I’m so glad we work from home cuz if I had to see this person and interact with them in person, I wouldn’t make it. I really wouldn’t. πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ˜†

    • Ivory Soap was a staple for a number of households. πŸ˜† We graduated to Irish Spring and while I loved it, it made me itchy.

      These co-workers are something else. I’m that something else now ’cause I’m there for the money only. OK? Stop trying to get to know me.
      If you leave, I’m telling you, they’ll show up at that other job in this life and the next. 🀣
