Wow I feel like we're really going for it with an enemies post during Pride month because, honestly...what's the opposite of an ally or accomplice? (It's an enemy. That's the antonym.)
Are there people who make our blood boil, who live rent free in our head, who stand against everything we stand for, not in a chill disagreeing way but in a harm-causing way? Have you ever found yourself the unwilling target of someone who sees you as a nemesis in their narrative, when you really don't see your role in the story as particularly powerful, as worthy of this demonization? Or, do we refuse to engage with the idea of enemies, to let our thoughts of the people who we don't align with slip through our minds and away? Do we land somewhere in between?...
