As you know, I don't typically write serious blogs.
They sometimes start serious, but the entire thing builds up to a joke at some point. That's been one of my styles of writing on here.
But, I'll be honest, I've had something going on in my life lately. It started somewhat recently, like maybe a month or two ago. I haven't kept track of the time closely.
Have you ever had something you hold every day just start falling apart? It's like that.
The longer I let it go and don't do anything about it, the worse it's going to get. A lot of people don't even have to go through this, but for some reason, I do.
I guess I don't need to cushion it in a bunch of soft text. I'll just be straightforward with it:
My toothbrush is losing its bristles.
It's true. It's falling apart. Every few times I brush my teeth, another bristle comes out. One just did tonight.
I don't know how long it will last, really. It's a tough guess. A few more months? Just imagine, what if next year at this time it's gone? What if I have to get a replacement before then?
I mean, I've only had it for a few months anyway. Is that even fair? Why me?
Can you maybe find it in your heart to sympathize with this?
It'd be very kind if you'd take a moment to think about my situation. I know there's a lot of nice people on here.
Have you considered maybe putting this one down before it reaches a worse state of suffering? You could adopt a new one. I think that's really the best choice. Why prolong its pain?
