At my children’s school I meet some parents while picking up or dropping my kids off. We chat sometimes. Today a lady said something to me.  I don’t know what she really meant.

She said like why you are not put together. I asked how.  She said maybe I was tired.  I agreed, but I felt awkward.  Somehow that touched on my insecurities and changed my mood. I started thinking about how people perceive me.
