STORY TIME

daniellebrooksemmy:

This morning I was downtown walking from a dentist visit and to the salon to get my hair done and two Chinese girls asked me for directions to get to Greektown Casino.

I was so hot and tired and out of it that I literally pointed them in the complete opposite direction. I was like ‘Janay, wouldn’t Greektown Casino be near Greektown? That’s why they call it that.’ and then I was like ‘Bitch you right’

Now, I’m terrible with directions so this isn’t the first time this has happened. Usually I’d just trust someone else will lead them the right way. But it didn’t sit well with me this time.

I followed them while half-following directions to the casino on maps. When I finally caught up with them, they were literally getting into the back of a man’s truck. I power walked up to them before the second girl could get in.

Now, I don’t speak Chinese. They did not speak English (I’m only assuming they were Chinese because of the language on their phones). So instead of explaining I gave them what I think is the universal face for “GIRL! If you don’t get cho ass away from this man’s car!” and it worked! They nodded and backed away. He was offering to give them a ride but they were LITERALLY across the street from it!

I know I seem like an atheist but I’m actually not. I do think some divine intervention had to do with me being where I was when I was. Or if you’d like to say ‘the universe’ that’s fine. But I showed up to my dentist appointment SIX hours early hoping to get squeezed in and my hair appointment was tomorrow.

I do not trust men. There are plenty of good ones but not nearly enough and I don’t think that man had good intentions. I’m so scared for women. I’m so scared as a woman.
