Hey, I'm in a weird position. A place I used to volunteer for got rid of me over a mistake the weekend my dog passed. The person in charge & the security team doesn't like me to keep it short. I grabbed an item thinking it was a staff giveaway & they threatened to press charges. I think it's a little racial profiling there, but I can't prove it. ...My mom doesn't know but she wants to go to the neighborhood party. I want to go but want to protect my peace. I have history with the museum but when someone wants to exit my life I'm opening the door. Can you please pray that if I go to this museum holiday party on the 11th of December that security doesn't harass me? I'm not a bad person, just picked up staff giveaways like everyone else. ...I don't want no drama over the holidays for real. P.S I got a couple of signs that I should go. I haven't heard anything saying I shouldn't go when my mom ordered tickets online and they sent an invite in the mail. I just want to keep seeing the signs that it's safe for me to attend.
