Epiphany

I put my make up on in the car on my way to work. It started off as a thing I would do at traffic lights, then became something I do while I'm waiting at intersections or even drifting along in traffic.

Not a good habit I know.

Two days ago I was doing the drifty thing and a cyclist came up on the inside of me in the bycycle lane and gestured fro me to move back into my own lane.

Fair enough I thought. But I also thought about the fact that I hadn't noticed her up to the point she was gesturing at me.

20 metres up the road someone turned left without looking and knocked her off her bike.

Now she was shaken but not hurt and her bike looked ok. But I had one of those moments when you see someone do something terrible and you realise it was pure, blind, stupid luck that it wasn't you.

No more drifty makeup for me.
