Urgh, this is what I hate about being a woman

Just came back from a long walk. It's a wonderful weather, and to keep from getting too hot I decided against wearing my jacket. That was a bad idea. During the second half of my walk, through the city, I felt uncomfortable because of my appearance.

Thing is I have big breasts. Not obscenely big, but enough to catch attention when wearing a jumper, which I was. I admit that I am partially paranoid, but I kept fearing that one of the men passing by me would touch my breasts or that one of the woman would call me a whore. I felt like a target the whole time. Everyone else was wearing jackets. An old man fishing called out to me but I ignored him.

Next time, no matter how hot the weather is I'll be wearing my jacket. There's no point in taking chances, especially not in a town made up by 30 % Middle Easterners. Urgh, I hate feeling like this, I hate thinking like this. I wish I could just live on the Internet permanently where I feel safe.

Now I'm back in the safety of my flat and my computer and starting to feel fine again.

In other news: Easter is going well. My brother and his wife were here yesterday, and in the evening I took a walk and watched TV. We ate a lot of food and cake. Pictures to come.
