The Last Straw

I remember eating out with you. I told the waiter not to put a straw in my cup.

You knew how much I cared for the environment, moreso my efforts to minimize the use of plastic.

But you told the waiter to give you a straw, "kasi sanay ako."

It was clear that you did not respect what I wanted, and you didn't care about the things that are important to me.

I should have known better.
