Some of my quirks...

March, 10, 2022. | No. 49.

A few days ago I read @JuanyChelme's article entitled Annoying Habits. Which is in Spanish, but you can read it if you translate it with the magical Google Translator that unites people of all nations with its noble work.

When I finished, I decided to make a post with some of my quirks, so here I leave them captured.

Rice with lemon and butter.

For some strange reason one day while eating I decided to add lemon drops to my rice with melted butter. The flavor is very pleasant in my opinion. The lemon gives a different touch to the boring rice, a fresh touch and very pleasant to the palate. But, do not overdo the amount of lemon, because it can give you acidity. It has happened to me.

Eat everything in order.

First the rice with meat, then the salad, and finally the fried plantains. The pasta should be properly distributed in each bite according to the amount of cheese... And so, I always eat everything in order, I don't like pasta or rice to be alone, they should always be accompanied by a little bit of each thing in the same bite.

I don't like deep plates, I prefer flat plates. They allow me to mentally distribute the food and eat comfortably. Otherwise I don't eat. Sometimes it is difficult to eat in public, because no one understands my way of eating, nor can I explain myself clearly. The good thing is that it gives me something to talk about at the table.

Kissing my cat.

I have a beautiful cat named Misu. I usually talk to him and tell him how much I love him. I also usually give him kisses, and cuddle him like a baby. Even though he doesn't like it. He prefers to be the one who gives me affection. He finds it hard to receive affection, unless I play with him. He loves to play and run.

Talking to myself.

I usually talk to myself in my mind, about what to do, what steps to take, and that sort of thing. I tend to make mental lists of things I'm missing to cook, things I have to do... Also about how to solve problems in my life, I tend to think a lot about how to come to an appropriate solution regarding certain things.

Hugging trees.

In the yard of my house there are many trees, planted by my parents. I usually touch them, talk to them, and tell them to withstand the hot seasons. I also hug them because I feel like I'm hugging my father.

I watch Facebook to de-stress.

I tend to do a lot of things in a day, work, study, cook, take care of my cat, and in between all those things I always need a mental break. So I watch memes on Facebook, sometimes it helps me relax. Other times it stresses me out more.

Watching the rain.

I love watching when it rains, listening to the rain, sleeping while it rains, and writing while it rains. In fact, writing when it rains helps me give it drama. The rain has helped me make the most dramatic and tear-jerking poems.

Overthinking.

What if, what if, what if not? Sometimes I think too much about some things, and that's what can make me feel bad, or give me anxiety crises. As for decisions, I don't usually think about them that much, I just follow my heart. It's kind of contradictory, I know.

Fear of the dark.

I haven't liked the dark since I was a little girl. I used to think monsters came out when there was no light. Now I just despair of not seeing. I trip over everything, and I never find what I'm looking for when there's no electric light at night. I don't like that to happen.

On the other hand, when I'm in dark and somewhat dangerous places I get scared, places like streets for example, it's for me something terrible. I remember once I had to walk a lot during the night because I couldn't take public transportation. I was on my way back to the hospital after sending some tests. The whole street was dark, there was little lighting. So I just went along singing whatever song came to my mind. Then I felt very afraid because there were men whispering to me, at that moment I walked faster and started reciting Bible verses. That's why I don't like to go out at night, as women we face a lot of dangers.

Not talking.

When there are gatherings of people I don't know I usually don't say a word. Not knowing the people I don't feel comfortable. So I start to gain confidence by the third meeting or encounter with those people. I am like a turtle, I go little by little in terms of interaction. Sometimes I tend to adapt better, sometimes not so much.

And well, this is my list of quirks, I encourage you to make yours.

❤️I bid you farewell, with love and a big hug. Thanks for reading!❤️
