adorkable1In the tradition of Forrest Gump, slice of life, word vomit...here I go...
When I was younger, I found that any question I asked, in my general naivete, was answered, empirically. I'm not certain how I got from a to b on some of those things, but...I did.
That being said-
I once asked how someone could stick something in their mouth and light it on fire. Question answered. It only took me 22 years to stop, and even then, it was "stop" in the form of switching to vaping. *Addiction is fun. No, no it's not.
I once asked how/why someone would let themselves become misshapen with additional weight...you guessed it! (I discovered, it's not "let" in some cases, judgmental much? You don't have any idea how much you don't know, until you know more.)
Fortunately, I have managed to learn quite a few things vicariously. For example, I don't have to smoke crack to know I don't want to smoke crack.
I said all of that, to say this: Every now and again, I get answers to things I did not ask about, or hell, even consider.
I find myself in having a bit of a medical issue. The medication I'm taking for under-active thyroid is causing, or could be causing, what it's supposed to be alleviating. I finally took some time to look up the symptoms of overdosing on thyroid medication. I have at least half of the symptoms and finally made an appointment to get back into the doctor.
(Consequently, I really, really...emphatically dislike going to the doctor.) In a way, it's a relief. However, that means I'm going to have to be poked and jabbed more frequently or perhaps, recognize it may not just be that.
Here, I will talk about this. In life, I largely keep my varied health struggles to myself. Mind you, it's not due to any form of shame for having health issues. It's more because, once you start over-focusing on health, or really anything, it can mire you down.
