🧠 Brain Static #5
My boyfriend has a tongue tie and can’t stick his tongue out. I think it’s cute. Anyway… Crocodiles can’t stick their tongues out either. Their tongues are held in place by a membrane. So apparently my boyfriend and crocodiles have something in common. I’m sure he’ll love that. Until next time, — Destiny P.S. What’s…

Apparently, the second I started feeling better, I forgot I had surgery. Not completely. Just enough to become a problem. 😂 Last week, I was talking about how strange it felt to finally start feeling like myself again. This week? I apparently took that as a challenge. I went out to dinner. I picked up…

If you had a time machine and could send just one message to your past self, what would it say? If I had a time machine and could send one message to my past self, I think I’d tell her: You make it. I know you don’t believe me. Actually, I know you’re probably rolling…

33 and Going Through Menopause
33 years old and about to go through menopause for the next 3–6 months. Am I an overachiever or what? lol I had my post-op follow-up this week, and everything went really well. I’m healing better than I expected, which is a huge relief because just a week ago I was convinced this whole recovery…

Sometimes looking closer means seeing something beautiful. Sometimes it means looking into your aquarium and wondering what exactly your snail thinks she’s doing.

Apparently… A sloth can hold its breath underwater for up to 40 minutes. A dolphin? Around 10 minutes. Which means… A sloth would probably beat me in a swimming contest. I don’t know how I feel about that. Until next time, —Destiny P.S. What’s the most unnecessary fact living rent-free in your head?

Sunday Things #4
It’s strange how quickly your definition of a good day can change. A couple of weeks ago, a good day probably wouldn’t have been defined by taking a shower without immediately needing to lie down afterward. Or being able to leave the house for a few hours. Or waking up and realizing the cramps that…

Between the Lines #3
Dinner With My Fears Tonight, I sat at a tablewith all of my fears. There wasn’t enough room. Failure arrived first,still wearing my face. She smiled politely,asked if I’d finally acceptedthat I’ll never becomeeverything I dreamed of. Before I could answer, Grief pulled out a chair. She didn’t say much. She never does. She just…

Learning to Look Closer #4
Most people probably wouldn’t have stopped for her. She was just a little brown moth outside near the cat food. And with cats around, that probably wasn’t the safest place for her to be. So I picked her up. I expected her to fight me. To flutter her wings, scramble away, or do whatever tiny…
