πŸŒΉπŸˆβ€

I woke up this morning and declared,

with the confidence of a Mischievous cat

who just knocked over a priceless vase,

but still struts regally, head held high,

screeching in annoyance,

as if the vase had offended HER...

πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸˆβ€β¬›

Yes! I woke up this morning and declared,

that I will be a thorn in the side of everything.

It sounded noble then, a mantra of audacity

a rebel’s oath whispered into the evil stepmother's mirror

'who is the thorniest of them all'

while dramatic lighting did most of the work.

πŸŒΉπŸ—‘οΈπŸˆβ€β¬›

But by noon, after tripping over my own boldness

and accidentally insulting the innocent wind

which was simply doing what it was created to do...

I declared:

I will be a thorn in the side of everything.

Now it felt less like a manifesto...

and more like a medical condition

requiring ointment and some strong antibiotics.

πŸŒΉπŸˆβ€β¬›

By evening, after discovering

that audacity is mostly too much brainwork,

self‑inflicted chaos,

and the slow realization that the universe

does not, in fact, provide refunds...

I became irritated that my attestation

was mainly falling on deaf ears...S0----

I yelled it with even more gusto, ardor and fervor -

I will be a thorn in the side of everything.

But this time it actually felt like...

I really am .... that very... necessary irritation

the grain of sand that insists on becoming a pearl,

the tiny rebellion that keeps the world awake

when it would rather sleep through its own awakening.

I woke up this morning and declared, LOUDLY...

I will be a thorn in the side of everything.

I WILL BE THE THORN IN THE SIDE OF EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!
