Im also grateful for a lot of other shit, too.
The kind of things that define my day to day on a more granular level.
It makes you feel light invincible, even.
God & Man
The kind of things that define my day to day on a more granular level.
The fact that cilantro doesnt taste like soap to me
Because apparently it does for somewhere between4and20(?)
You wanna put it in the dish?
Wanna keep it out?
You gonna ask my opinion?
Its pretty much parsley as far as Im concerned.
So I dont care.
But at least it doesnt taste like soap.
The fact that I do not hate the taste of protein powder
It makes my annual health kickssooomuch easier.
In fact, the taste I hate more is the sickening slew of artificial sweeteners most of them have.
I recently bought plain protein powder and it was everything I ever wanted.
Does it taste sweet?
Does it taste vaguely of drywall?
The fact that I DO hate the taste of soda
Ifeelfor people who consider this their biggest dieting vice.
Which is why I am also immensely grateful I dont share it.
(Same goes for candy, but fewer people cite that as their weakness.)
The fact that pasta brings me no joy whatsoever
I dont get pasta.
I just dont understand it.
Andyes,kibbles, Ive had good pasta.
Ive been to Italy and eaten at non-touristy places.
Ive had proud Italians crank me out some home-cooked efforts.
It tastes like something thats meant to be served to small children with colic.
The flavor, the texture there is just no joy in this.
And sure, its the carbs as well what a woeful waste (in my mind.)
Which is why my preference against it makes me feel grateful.
This has only evolved as Ive gotten older.
Im not joking about any of those.
The first beer with someone youre really excited to be with
Enough said.
Heres where things are about to get much more humble-braggy.
The fact that I dont hate traffic
In fact, I think its kind of zen?
Raging over traffic is about as rational as silently losing your shit or thrashing and cussing because its raining.
Like… what is wrong with you?
But I also feel very grateful that I can step away whenever I want.
I smoked socially in my 20s and then stopped.
I can drink every single day and then go sober for months.
Ive tried recreational drugs and then set them back down.
I can indulge wildly in limerence feelings for a crush from afar without ruining my life.
I am grateful to step away when I choose.
develop intrinsic motivation??
(I have my own.)
The fact that I can calculate tips in my head
I feel for people who cant.
The fact that I dont really love buying shit or traveling?
Look at all this m$ney it frees up for other bullshit like booze and skydiving!
Brake lights
And brakes.
I mean, justimaginea world without them.
Foam rollers
Mine is still a relatively new purchase but already one of my favorite possessions.
Discovering new songs youre about to listen to on repeat for weeks
And for partners who tolerate it.
Platonic cuddles
Theyre kind of the best sometimes?
When the stars align like this, the whole universe stands still.
Just like, for the love of tea, include more than sunshine and safe drinking water.
Were all grateful for those dig deeper.
