Allergies

I am allergic to a few things:

• Milk (sodium caseinate, whey, to name a few)
• Milkweed
• Pine tree pollen
• Unethical behavior
• Poor grammar

I’m not kidding.

So what do I do when I’m are allergic to something I know?

• Avoid it
• Take a pill to block the effects
• Ignore it and continue to suffer the consequences of the allergy

I know I do each of these depending on what the allergy is and where it is located. Is that really good for me? Well, probably not. To truly get rid of the allergic reactions, I must take the excruciating time to question, research, hypothesize, test, verify, and repeat as necessary. If that process is good for scientists to get better at understanding and solving a mystery, why isn’t it good enough for me to use to understand my body, my personal challenges, and emotional reactions to life?

I think in order to BE this year, I have to take the time to figure out what I’m allergic to and then figure out where the triggers are and then get rid of them. Of course, that will take time.
