Okay first of all 😩😂
Why was there a whole ✨stink bug✨ on my toothbrush this morning.
Not near it.
Not on the counter.
On. The. Toothbrush.
I just stood there staring at it like… sir? This is not your morning routine.
And honestly it felt symbolic.
Life lately has been like that. You wake up, ready to start fresh, and there’s some random little surprise sitting right where your peace is supposed to be.
You can either:
A. Lose it
B. Spiral
C. Take a breath, remove the bug, rinse everything off, and keep it moving
Today I chose C.
And then it hit me… we’re at the tail end of the 🐍 Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac. Snake energy is all about shedding, clearing, releasing old skins. And what does it do right before it’s done? It brings up the last little irritations. The tiny triggers. The lingering stuff that’s been hiding in corners.
Even the stuff sitting on your toothbrush apparently.
It feels like end of cycle energy.
Little annoyances surfacing so they can leave.
Old skins peeling off in the most random ways.
Not everything needs to ruin your morning. Not every annoyance deserves your nervous system. Sometimes it’s just a stink bug. Sometimes it’s just the final shed before something new moves in.
Also yes, I used a different toothbrush. We are spiritual but we are not reckless.
Anyone else feeling that end of snake year clearing energy in the most unexpected ways? 😅
