This morning I see a woman that I sometimes see on the 4 train during my commute. She has short styled gray hair, is always in a business suit and appears to be in her 50s maybe. The reason I keep noticing her is that she has a disfigured face. If I were perhaps more talented I could describe it to you in great detail but I simply can’t. I just can’t. I try not to look but I cannot help it- I think I am just trying to make sense of it, trying to make myself feel better about a stranger with a horrific face. Everyone knows you shouldn’t stare at people with a disability or deformation. I feel like it would be much worse though to never have anyone make ever make eye contact with you because they are too afraid to look.
