A 2021 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy.
30k miles. Meticulously maintained.
And the paint is failing like this.
This is a known issue.
@Hyundai@HyundaiUSA@ManlyHyundai documented my claim the last week of January. It’s now April and I’m #40 on the repair list.
I keep reading that self-care is ‘pouring back into yourself.’
So I did.
Unfortunately, I poured coffee, sarcasm, and an alarming amount of denial.
Feeling hydrated, though.
Nothing makes me question evolution like watching two people try to merge lanes. We had millions of years to develop thumbs, language, and reasoning, and this is where we landed?
I’ve started tracking my mental health like a Fitbit: today I walked 200 steps, avoided 3 people, and overthought everything twice. Heart rate’s fine, spirit’s questionable, sarcasm’s strong.
I’ve stopped trying to ‘find myself.’ Whatever version of me exists right now clearly knows how to fake productivity and make it to bedtime, I’m letting her stay in charge.
