Transcript of My stolen photographs

My Stolen photographs,Yesterday I had a conversation that left me very disturbed. I wouldn't go into all the details since it is long and complicated. But, I was notified that someone who I sent my picture long time ago is using that photo as their profile picture. All of us know that that can bring many different implications. Now anyone can access your pictures, it is very easy to obtain. However, we all know what is right from wrong. We all know what using someone else's picture as your profile picture is very dishonest. Earlier, this year, my cell phone service was disconnected suddenly, without any good reason. You do know those friends of friends, someone that you seeing or talk once. Well, that person suddenly shows up at my door with two different phone numbers handed them to me. "They would like to speak to you," These are not people that I have not regular interactions or meaningful connections with. Then, I have an AHA moment, they have been hacking my cell phone and taking my pictures and using it on many different ways. At one point, after my internet service was installed, the service kept getting disconnected. I could not figure out why. But, I noticed that every time it happened, I called, they always sent a service technician to my address. The next time that happened I saw that the problem with the connection was an outside problem that did not require an inside repair. Thus, I called the company, as always they said that they will send someone to work on the problem and it needed to be inside my place. I refused, I felt that it was being force to have a man at my place when it was unnecessary. I finished that conversation and I called the company again. I spoke to a different representative. This person gave me different information agreeing with me that the problem was outside and that the person who they were going to send didn't need to come into my place. Nonetheless, when the technician showed up he knocked my door told me that he needed to do his job. I explained to him that I have spoke with the phone representative so he went outside and fixed the problem, some wires that were broken. I left my place, so I he did not get to come in. And it is not that I did not want to show these workers hospitality. But, without a month or two when the internet service gets disconnected and a stranger comes into your home to make changes to your computer almost weekly something is fishy. Also, by talking to different service representative different times, I realized that these phone representatives all gave me different information making doubt that these were the same people I was speaking to. One day, I went to walk in the park, there was a photographer who was taking pictures of a girl. The girl suddenly took her pants off and photograph herself on just her panties, in an area of the park which is designed for children to play. I felt very uncomfortable. So, I decided to leave, as I was leaving the photographer started to ask me questions. He said, " You are very beautiful. I would love to take your pictures. so for" Then, give me his business card. I asked him what type of photographs do you take, he had a phone. I told him to show me his website. He did, and most of the photographs were of women on their undies and these pictures were there in that website. I said my goodbyes and walked away. That is not the type of things I am interested on. Not that I could not embrace my body and be proud of it. But, it seems that there was more to that website than just plain photographs. So, I never call this person. I found the whole experience very odd. Around the town I lived I was training and I got hired for a job in a restaurant. Just before the day I was learning the computer system before the place open, I was standing at the computer and one of my future bosses touched (grabbed for few seconds) my holder. To be honest with you, I wanted to tell him the time of the day. Instead a moved away giving him a dirt look. After about four hours training and learning to do my job; They kept asking me to eat the bread from the bakery or to drink something. I said, " I wasn't hungry. I didn't want to eat anything." Why should I feel force to do that?" To summarize, I left and I was going to return to the place on opening day to do my job. It never happened. They never called after I was hired. At a matter of fact, that place is now there taking dust. To be very honest with you as much as I needed the job I was glad. I knew that I was not going to tolerate this type of situations. It appears that these incidents are not connected, but oh yes they are. These were not mere coincidence, these were plan events. There are so many other odd situations that could help understand and clarify how I came to this conclusion. But, I will just say this, it is not normal to meet, get a business card, or hear of a person with the same name in different places, different circumstances within months, in grocery stories, the park, or an event around your area. All this happened some time ago, now that the information is coming together at once, it makes me think twice. You see I go through life giving people the benefit of the doubts trusting that we all have the best intentions until the contrary speaks for itself. And I post any things on twitter. I am not sorry about that. I know that many people would not understand nor I do expect you to. But, this is the only place I can use to voice my opinion. At times, writing something appear to be very random, disconnected, weird since I am not writing about the whole story. I am going by what is happening at the time. I am emotionally connected with my life and I am in good emotional place. And the reason for that is because (in my opinion) I express myself through writing. Expressing myself has become my coping mechanism. A diary in which I can go back and see what was going on during that period of my life. My life is still good, believe me I stay away from all the negative things, focus and do all the things I enjoy doing. Nonetheless, you probably cannot understand how frustrating. challenging times, unfair it is to just take a picture of yourself and see the image alter (sort of me, but not really). They do this as if they are entitled to as if the message is, it is your fault for having a face and body. To see a pictures of you a year ago used now as if they are someone's else pictures, images or videos; as if making a few changes, just because they put bigger breast, aged you, add hair, change eye color, or whatever alterations they do to an image makes it a different person. No it doesn't It is me. Even if I don't have a mirror on my face or eyes looking inward! Those are my pictures, that is my life, ID you stolen.
