Have you ever broken a bone?
Have You Ever Broken a Bone?
The moment I read this prompt, my brain did not ask,
“Have I ever broken a bone?”
.
It immediately asked:
“Wait… whose bone are we talking about here?” 🤨
.
Because honestly, the wording felt slightly suspicious.
Like the prompt was quietly investigating my criminal history.
.
For a second I genuinely wanted to reply:
“Your Honor, before I answer, I would like my lawyer present.” 🤭
.
But thankfully, no.
I have never broken a bone.
Not mine.
Not anyone else’s either.
Very proud of this peaceful achievement, by the way. ✨
.
Which is honestly shocking considering the number of times my toes have violently collided with furniture.
.
And I don’t mean a gentle little bump.
I mean full-speed emotional impact.
.
One time the swelling was SO bad that I had already started imagining dramatic X-rays (which, unfortunately, I actually had to get done), hospital scenes, and an inspiring recovery journey.
.
But apparently my bones looked at the situation and said:
“Not today.” 😌
.
Meanwhile I was walking around the house like an injured freedom fighter for fifteen days.🫣
.
At this point, my skeleton deserves employee-of-the-month recognition.🤭
.
Though emotionally?
Different story.
.
A few days ago, I confidently waved back at someone…
who was actually waving at the person behind me.🤭
.
And I’m sorry, but some things fracture beyond medical repair.😪
.
I still think about it randomly and suffer.
.
So no broken bones so far.
Just broken dignity, damaged confidence, and occasional attacks from table corners. ✨

With love,
