dirt

I have a new relationship with dirt and all things dirty, icky, stinky, messy, filthy, grimy, and grubby.

I'm the girl who washes her hands at least 10 times in preparing a simple meal. Not to keep the food from getting contaminated, but because I like my hands to feel clean. Well, I WAS that girl.

Now I'm the girl who rinses poopy clothes by hand, who picks up food that's been chewed and spat, who licks her finger to clean dried up snot in a pinch, who has been drooled on, vomited on, peed on, snotted on, yeah yeah, enough. And, it doesn't really bother me. Most of the time. Now, that's love.
