Embarrassment
One Time I Was Awful
The entirety of life is a learning curve. It’s a process. It’s about growth. It’s about being better than you were yesterday, even if just slightly. It’s about not beating yourself up if you aren’t. Hopefully, you’ll get another shot at it tomorrow. It’s cumulative. It’s baby steps. It’s moving forward on your journey, incrementally. It’s the stock market. Sometimes you’re up. Sometimes you’re down. But ideally, you’re mostly up before you cash out.

TIME WHEN I WAS EMBARRASSED
When you are upset, ask yourself some difficult questions to gauge how shy you are. Describe a time when your awareness of your emotions was preventing you from responding to the situation in such a way that […] [You will have to talk about this for a minute or two. Describe a situation or situation in which you feel embarrassed because of a lack of knowledge of a subject or because of your inability to speak English fluently.

The Size of Your lips changed
Please let me go Caleb, you are not here, and I don't want you to be. Not white and not black. I want home to come get me, so I can heal in an environment where nothing you showed me exists, the bad feelings don't exist either. I have never felt more alone, and you only kick me around in these dark days, after you broke my brain. I don't know what is real and what is not real anymore, that is why I demand I go where I know it's real. Where I know an XL male shirt, doesn't fit someone with my build.

Trying Out Pot for the First Time at the Age of 71
I've never been a party girl. It’s something that never appealed to me. It’s not in my genes. I tried smoking cigarettes when I was 12 years old. I got sick to my stomach, puked, and wondered why anyone would want to smoke. I didn’t go to Woodstock or hang out with the hippies at Haight Ashbury in San Francisco. I failed hippie 101.

Eardays wet In Public
Is it normal to have lubricated ears? I'm really asking because for one, I am inclined to purchase a different type of headphones than any one I currently know. We can't share! Does anyone else remember when headphones came with strings to save itself from falling out and getting lost? Who took that off the tables of options? I have about 5 pairs of mismatched headphones, so inadvertently I am a known champion of the phrase "huh?"

Hawk Out
The pizza guy knocked and said “you’ve got a hawk out here.” “A what?” This was supposed to be a contactless delivery. He sounded serious. I leaned out of my apartment to check. Sure enough, something flew back and forth over our heads. I live at the top of a three story walk up with tall windows on both sides. Poor thing bonked itself against the glass several times. I’ve seen birds and insects get confused before, but never one this large and this confused.
