Don’t Take This for Granted | Thought Catalog →
People should not be taken for granted — not the ones who raised you, not the ones who ground you, not the ones who love you. Not the stranger who chased you for a half-block to tell you you’ve dropped something, not the one who holds the door for you, not the one who asks you if you’re feeling okay or the one who asks you to dance. Their actions are not inconsequential; they are what it means...

If for any reason you don’t want your post on this list, just let me know and I’ll remove it.
It’s high time I put something like this together for myself so I can be more comfortable handling these situations on my own and IRL. I’m lucky that privilege blog is getting passed around tonight because it’s an excellent start and has so many references in one spot.
