Not to be that person but remember that food is fuel and you need it to function. Unless it's for a medical reason (a procedure that requires no food intake 24 hours prior) you NEED to eat. Never starve yourself for weight loss.

When I go for a haircut at the Turkish barbers, I always ask them to burn off the little bit of hair in my ears 👍

It's like being assigned a new hobby you have zero interest in but somehow are unable to quit participating in.

Oh all sorts of stuff I used to dismiss I've come to realize is a problem! My ability to fall asleep at the drop of a hat for 3 hours straight? Yeah, that's narcolepsy.

I can't sleep naked. What if there's an intruder and we have to battle? Things need to be tucked in tight so as not to distract the masked man.

I have a magnet on the fridge that says, "I used to sneak out of the house to go to parties. Now I sneak out of parties to go to my house."
