Currently listening to: I Think We’re Alone Now – Tiffany
I think we’re alone now
There doesn’t seem to be anyone around
I think we’re alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
What is something you thought was healthy, but later learned it wasn’t?
Prompt snagged from: TCMC
Basically… too many things.
- Granola bars? Basically candy bars in disguise. Most of them are packed with sugar, refined grains, and hydrogenated oils.
- Fruit juice and smoothies? Childhood me thought I was drinking health — turns out I was just sipping a straight-up sugar bomb.
- Veggie chips? Lies. Just salty, starchy disappointment.
- Dried fruit? More like dried sugar with a hint of fiber.
- Cereal? I lived off of it as a kid, but now I look at the ingredients and go, “Damn, was I just eating sweetened cardboard?”
- Even most protein bars are questionable, stuffed with filler and chemicals. These days, I stick to Rx bars because at least they’re made of whole food ingredients I can pronounce.
- Plant-based meats? I wanted to believe in them, but they’re just ultra-processed sodium bricks.
- Seed oils, diet sodas, bottled waters (hello, microplastics) — all dressed up as healthy alternatives, all sus.
- Training without rest. I used to think pushing through every ache meant discipline. But the body needs recovery, not martyrdom.
- “Positive vibes only”? Yeah… no. We’re human. We need space to feel the full emotional spectrum. Otherwise, that repression starts leaking out in ugly ways.
- Pushing through pain? I had a Marine friend who’d say, “Rojie, pain is weakness leaving the body.” If that’s true, then I’m the weakest bitch alive.
- Sun exposure. I was chasing vitamin D but without limits as a kid but I found out that it’s a quick path to a burn and possible skin cancer in the future.
- Accepting your partner’s flaws and imperfections. Yeah, but not when he’s raging in the bathroom fighting the mirror after doing a line of coke.
