Hard times? Easy times? Who’s to say? One can’t know any more than the old man who lost his horse. #塞翁失马

PROMPT: Gut
What’s a time you ignored your gut — and paid for it?

It could be said that I did not pay heed my gut — and paid for it — every time I ever ate at Taco Bell. #Yo quiero que la diarrea pare.

PROMPT: Forgotten
What’s something you’ve forgiven but haven’t forgotten?
View all responses
Actually, forgetting is in my wheelhouse, and I presume it is my principal means of forgiving (but can’t remember for certain.) I’ve actually had a person sheepishly say, “Sorry about how I treated you back in school when we were kids.” To which I responded, “Who are you now, and what are you on about?” I apparently had a bully or bullies in my schoolboy years? Who knew?

That might be redundant. For all I know, I’m already living in a video game. I’m not looking to be more meta.
