What’s your situation?
I was recently asked this question. And I'll answer it properly next week.
Hello! And thank you so much for reading The Honesty Box today. It’s a bank holiday weekend here in the UK, which means we get Monday off, and today I’m going to London’s Notting Hill Carnival for the first time in ages. What are you up to?
I’m not fully in the zone to write properly yet, having taken a couple of weeks off. So, I hope you’ll excuse me for another week.
Next time, I’ll be pondering my ‘situation,’ as an acquaintance of someone I know recently asked me: “What’s your situation?” as we were making small talk after an event.
“I’m a journalist, and I live in Harlesden,” I said, not thinking much of it. Then another person approached us, and the conversation moved on.
Later, I reflected. What is my situation, and what did this person mean by the question? I have my suspicions, and I’ll dig into them next time. Until then, what do you think the person meant by this question?
And, what’s your situation?
See you next time.
