The duality of man: It was my birthday this past week. It was also the first time I fell down the stairs. Only one of those two things is shown in this photo.

There was a birthday recently where I made the decision to always grab a handrail if present bc I did not bounce back well from a slide down the stairs and realized “oh, yeah, it probably won’t kill me but a spill could fuck my week up”

This seems like a sensible plan I should keep in mind

It… felt like I’d stepped over a line in the sand into some new era of life, though, lol
