change in taste

does your spit ever change flavors? You can feel the new flavor leak over your back molars, seeping out of your salivary glands. What causes this change in taste? When I first noticed it I thought I had chipped a tooth and that was what the inside tasted like. Now I think it might be a hormone like serotonin or melatonin or something of that sort, since I only notice it right before bed. I didn't know hormones had flavors. It's interesting. You never think of what spit tastes like. It's just always there, seemingly unchanging and so you stop noticing. But should there be a variation in the constant, suddenly you notice- and are forced to wonder, why does my spit change flavor?

how are you?

I am wonderful. I am splendid. I am lovely. I am excellent.

How could you respond any other way?
All things are relative. You may have woken up and shared a shower with a spider, and proceeded to go through the gloomy day with a tweaked back. But all things considered, it's all good. In general, overall, things are well above average. Complaints are small and temporary. So now, no matter how less than ideal a day you may be having, you can still say that you are excellent when someone asks how you are.

head in the clouds, body in the sun

It's hard to think that some people can go through whole days, weeks, possibly moths or even years, and never have the words bliss, contentment, and peace float through their thoughts. Some people never find themselves in a state of calm, despite everything happening around you. Maybe it's just an ability to zone out, day dream, find lala land. When your mind wanders so much you stop being aware of where it goes until you catch yourself, and can't remember what's happening. Perhaps it's denial. Ignoring everything that probably should be worried about. Ignorance is bliss, especially when you're in the sun.
