And I don't mean the crappy lollipop you used to get for acing your spelling test. Although, they did suck. What kind of 'mystery' flavor is always grape? ALWAYS GRAPE. NO MYSTERY.
What is “real” and “authentic”? I think I trip myself up on such words, mostly because I find my evaluation of said realness and authenticity to be malleable and shifting over time.
That said, I relate to every word and the creative catastrophizing especially.
You’d be surprised how good for the back sleeping on concrete can be, especially if you can find 3 good pieces of splintering 2x4 to use as pillows between your legs head and to hug with your upper arm (assuming you’re a side sleeper).
I think that's part of the difficulty - finding a way to define 'real' and 'authentic' in a way that feels accurate to you. It's this thing we strive for but lacks a concrete definition and can mean different things to different people. It can feel like trying to hit a moving target in the dark with sunglasses on. Thank you for reading! And especially thank you for the concrete sleeping recs. I may need them...
