SELF-AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I choose to believe that the very light strand of hair on my head is not white but instead an indication that I’m going blonde in my late 20s.

I’M CLAPPING, TINKERBELL. DO YOU HEAR ME?!?!??!

Yesterday my dentist told me that I’ve been brushing my teeth too vigorously and as a result my gum line has started to recede in certain sections (only the back, thank god).
Then she said, ”IT WILL NEVER COME BACK.”
She was referring to my gums, but I thought she was referring to my youth…and I held it against her for the rest of my visit. Then she suggested that I get Sensodyne toothpaste. Yes. Sensodyne. The #1 brand recommended at nursing homes.
Am I sharing too much?

It’s scary to think that I’ve already done damage to my body that is irreversible. I wonder what else I’m doing to cause permanent damage to my body.
I think that’s the scariest part of getting older…
realizing that you don’t have infinite time and resources to correct all your wrongs.
