    Used to visit grocery stores at night hoping to get noticed.

    I guess it depends who you ask. I try to be myself all the time, but some superficial relationships are only exposed to certain parts if me. Probably only my oldest, closest friends know and can reconcile the seemingly disparate tastes, emotions, experiences, even the ways I express myself.

    Sometimes it’s strange and oddly embarrassing to have someone discover a previously unknown thing about me. 🤷‍♀️

    I switched to a plant-based diet in July due to a challenge my daughter had from high school friends. She and I have decided to stay with it. Everyone thought we would be running back to meat, but we prefer the plant-based diet.

    I did the same beginning of the year and love it!

    I was once 50 lbs overweight with relative little muscle. Wasn't until I got in shape that things started clicking in my life

    I appreciated your before/after pics. Very cool

    Coworkers are sometimes amazed how I can wrap up a conversation about football or weightlifting with one person, then turn to begin an equally in-depth conversation about Marvel movies or AD&D with somebody else. As if somehow you have to choose which to be knowledgeable about, sports or nerds.

    My father still does a double-take every time I visit him and begin eating dinner with my left hand instead of my right, often swapping hands mid-meal if I need to reach for the salt or whatnot. I'm ambidextrous, a fact I discovered in college when a buddy broke his right arm, so a group of us decided to show solidarity by all doing everything left-handed while he healed. Lots of consternation from the others trying to chicken-scratch class notes or pick up a fork while I was able to continue almost uninterrupted. (My left hand writing is only moderately legible, but I attribute that mostly just to lack of practice not lack of ability.)
