STORYTIME: Hunger Had Me in a Headlock Yesterday. đŁđ„
I waited ALL. DAY. to eat. Starving. Itâs Wednesday, so I grab the $5 sushi from Publix thinking I made a smart, mature decision.
I get the crunchy shrimp roll, get in the car, start driving, dip the sushi into the wasabiâŠjust a little, right?
Wrong.
I didnât get a dab.
I got a WHOLE GLOMP of wasabi.
The second it hit my mouth it shot straight to the back of my throat. My eyes start watering instantly. Iâm coughing. Gagging. Crying. Fighting for my life at a red light like I need assistance.
I grab my water bottle and start SPRAYING water into my mouth with full force⊠and the ICE blocks the opening. So now Iâm choking, crying, and still on fire.
That wasabi burned my mouth.
My throat.
My chest.
Then slid right down to my STOMACH.
Internal combustion. đ„
And yes⊠I still finished the sushi.
Because I was hungry.
Fast forward, I leave Target and realize Iâm STILL HUNGRY. So I pull up to Bojangles, get the $5 after five meal, and eat that like I havenât seen food in weeks.
And after all of thatâŠ
I still finished my work.
Life doesnât pause because youâre busy building. Sometimes youâre running businesses, starving, surviving wasabi attacks, and tearing up a Bojangles box all in the same day.
Anyway⊠I lived.
Back to work. đŒđźâđš
