There are two types of people in this world: those that lead seemingly flawless lives due to their impressive ability to maintain balance through all situations and those that are so clumsy that they can barely function. Unfortunately for me, I have proven countless of times to be the latter. Being so uncoordinated, I have endured many different and ungraceful situations. I deal with struggles like the ones mentioned below way too frequently.
1. Finding a million bruises on my body.
From all of the bruises that I wear, one would think that I'm a person that lives life with reckless abandon. However, in reality, all of those bruises usually result in the times that I trip over my two left feet.
2. Dirtying every single clothing garment I wear.
Without fail, I manage to stain all of the clothing items that I own. That white shirt? You can bet that I've gotten ketchup all over it. Those blue jeans? They aren't so blue anymore due to the excessive amount of bleach I used when doing laundry. It actually amazes me how many of my clothes have been altered due to my inability to take care of them properly.
3. Cracking my iPhone screen.
At this point, I honestly believe that I have spent more money on repairing my phone screens than actually purchasing my phones. Whether my phone is held tightly in my hand or packed away safely (or at least that's what I like to think) in my bag, it always manages to break, regardless of the situation.
4. Losing everything.
My wallet, my keys, my sanity... what haven't I lost? It's genuinely frightening how many times I've searched for my glasses while wearing them on top of my head. There isn't one day that I don't misplace an object, or at least think that I do.
5. Being the walking joke among all of my family and friends.
It's no surprise that with the infinite embarrassing moments I've had so far, I was bound to become the verbal punching bag for everyone around me. If there's nothing to talk about, then my friends will mention the one time I tripped in front of a huge crowd. At a family event, my mom will go on and on about the time I wore my outfit completely backwards for an entire day. Whatever occasion it may be, a humiliating story of mine always makes an appearance into a conversation someone is having.
As the clumsy person that I am, I am completely certain that I will encounter many more humiliating moments and struggles throughout my life that could potentially add to this list one day. Let's all hope for my own sake that at least great stories will come out of them.
