I dare say that's why that student picked you out. Because even your body language and your "attitude" that day couldn't disguise delightful, gentle Robert.
I came across this read for a reason. And I’m glad I did. Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable with us all Robert. I’m glad that young man chose you to talk to. This sits right in my core because I have a young black boy who dreams so big everyday. He’s 5. And he just started kindergarten and he’s been dreaming of connection and a hug as well. We’re doing early drop offs to school so that I can make it on time to work and it’s a struggle. Being the only kindergartener in an auditorium full of bigger kids, he just wants someone to talk to. The stories at pick up of no one talking to him, him going to share his comic books and no one wanting to read with him, is hitting my little mommy heart. No matter the age, dream Robert. Black boys DO deserve to dream. Big and small. You got this. My son has this. It will all work out 🩷 Happy Sunday!
This wonderful piece brought me some tears. I so relate to needing, craving love and attention as a child and now as an adult. It’s always there that yearning..at times it’s so painful. Thank you for this 🩵
I think I can relate...I had to grow up fast as a kid, 5 to be exact. Now I'm 60 yrs old and when I'm around my grandchildren I'm like a little kid, we throw rocks in the pond, play games, swing on the swings at the park...play tag, I have the most fun during those times.
Delightful people draw forth delightful people.

I know it. And the knowledge choked me up.

Very interesting.
Stay open.
Thank you for sharing, and being comfortable enough with yourself to share.
