I loved bananas, specifically strawberry banana smoothies, but they make my gums and tongue tingle. i spent 20+ years of my life thinking they just did that to everyone. One day I ate one and noticed it was tingling a bit more than usual. I looked it up and turns out bananas are NOT supposed to make your mouth feel like an old TV screen. i can eat banana bread though bc it bakes out the enzyme Iām allergic to. Even if it didnāt id still eat it. Fuck it, we ball.

I have been made aware of the banana discourse so this is my rec. Iām actually slightly allergic to bananas and they make my throat scratchy and one time after I ate a whole one I had to lie down for 30 minutes because it felt like there was a bowling ball in my chest =/ But I learned when you cook/ process fruits their enzymes break down and change and so Iām not allergic to dried or cooked bananas ;) so not a total loss!!!

About thirty second after I took this I offered some of my instant āCuban Style Rice and Beansā to the one on the end. Itās got banana in it. I always forget that sheās allergic to bananas, because like thatās a really dumb allergy. She said āIām allergic to banana.ā WOW. DID NOT SEE THAT COMING.

i used to fucking HATE bananas, mostly for the texture. they way they were mushy and had stuff that felt like hair on it always freaked me out.
but now that ive grown a bit i've learned to love them. theyre a wonderful snack thats easy to eat, and they taste delicious in baked goods. you can find me absolutely DESTROYING a banana nut muffin at any given hour.
loving seeing the banana discourse, its healing my soul.

Itās incredible how many people genuinely think they are boring. There have been so many times Iāve spoken with people and they confess that they think that they havenāt done much with their life, or that they donāt have much interesting to talk about, but itās almost never the case.
From what I can tell, itās often caused by a lack of knowing thyself. Or maybe a low self esteem? Iāve been through it too, and it is so so not true for anyone.
Youāve done so much living. Why do you feel like your story is not worth telling? I know youāve gone through some crazy shit once or twice. if you really havenāt, whatās stopping you from getting out there and creating stories to talk about? Start small! go to a coffee shop once a week. See if they have any clubs to join, and try that out! youāll be making memories in NO TIME.
If you have trouble finding meaningful/fun conversation, just remember that the effort must flow both ways. You are merely just working with what the other person is providing you, and if they arenāt giving you anything to work with, itās not your fault. You arenāt boring, you are just around people who dont vibe with you. And thatās okay! Not every person is going to be your specific kind of person. Plus, if you arenāt having fun talking to them, why does it matter if they like you? the much cooler people who value your input are just around the corner. I promise.
One day youāll be able to shine your beautiful personality on someone who is equally as bright you are, you magnificent comet, you.
