I recently traveled alone from Orlando to Portland. It seems on every turn I was being “helped”. I know I should be grateful that there is still respect and kindness but somehow being offered help felt weird since I didn’t need help. Oh well, I guess we are never satisfied. I felt people were making assumptions about me based on my gray hair.
