"Looking back in"

Good evening everyone

Today I was thinking about what it means to be on the outside looking in. I've recently met a young lady in Foster Care and for some odd odd reason.  I expected to sit down and to be able to really talk with her about who she was what she felt and what it is like for her in Foster Care.  (That assumption I am sure was out of pure excitement  on my end.  However but wasn't  thought through at all very well).

Honestly:
After meeting the young lady and having dinner. I was kind of disappointed  that was Monday and this morning  I thought to myself  literally  (Devitta she doesn't  know you and even though you know your intentions she doesn't).

I thought back when I went into Foster Care and even when I was first removed  from my adopted family.  It was no easy transition and I was far from open.  I wasn't  sure who to trust and even who I could talk to. Nor was I sure how I would be treated.  I wasn't  sure what to expect  from anyone at that point.  So how could I expect  that of anyone else? 

I was amazed at how I didn't  consider the circumstance of how she may feel or may not feel from the beginning  rather than after. 

Either Way:
I am glad that I had the experience  

I now have a thought to take with me the next time that get the opportunity  to meet a young individual in care I must be mindful and thank things through a little more. 

Feel free to leave feedback both constructive  criticism  as well as encouragement.
