#i know i look babyfaced but ma'am i spent nearly a decade in the beauty industry

[ephemeraltea]

latest trial and tribulation life has gifted me like cat delivering a mouse corpse: a coworker who so so badly wants to tell me what Other People Are Saying About me that they do, even after i say don't want to hear it (as gently and politic as i can, which actually quite a lot). and then proceeds to claim a number of things i have a hard time buying were said in the way they're telling them to me. and from the people have bothered to respect the few boundaries i've laid, supported me in my role, and been openly grateful for my efforts.

and then proceeds to to make it very, very clear that if i tell anyone about the conversation, they'll know to never trust me again.
