I’ll be honest with you guys: All of the weird, irrational stuff I was afraid of as a kid still scares me sometimes. Even growing up, people would say, “stop being such a baby,” like you magically get un-afraid of these things as an adult. Um, nope. False. Not at all true. It’s okay to be a wimp about certain things – the whole reason we have fear in the first place is to protect us from danger, so yes, while we know the incredibly safe rollercoaster will not snap in half and send us plummeting to our untimely death, THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES IN LIFE, IS THERE?! Fully aware that I’m being dramatic with this, but there was always this narrative of getting older and becoming braver over time, and for some things, that’s just not at all true.

I’m currently spending the week with my boyfriend and his family at their home. Unfortunately, I’ve already run into a moment of total mortification. I flushed the toilet in the bathroom, but the flusher wouldn’t work. Seriously, the toilet was just…broken. But it wasn’t my fault! It’s a fussy toilet! Still, I stalled and tried to fix it, but I only made it worse. I knew this day would come: The embarrassing BF scenario that you only hear about but hope you never experience.
