walking the margins
The photos
01: STRINGS AND STICKS
My ligaments try to hold me together. They do their best — which isn’t very good. A bit like these captions.
02: I HATE HUGS
Seriously though, they low-key hurt a bit. Sorry, my nervous system hates me.
03: Compactor
Ever feel like you are being squished like a pear between two bricks?
04: support systems
As you can see...mine are a little rough.
05: Mission Impossible
The rock is my to do list. I’m the egg.
06: Nervous Lamp
Reminds me of a blow-up car sales statue in the wind but its actually just my nervous system being helecopter parent.
07: Margins break
You know those videos of watermelons wrapped in rubber bands bursting? That’s perfectionism...
08: Waiting for the ball to drop
I have bad luck, what can I say...
09: Spaced out
Have you seen my brain? I think it grew legs and walked away.
10: Mushrooms and nerves?
Here is a tower of mushrooms. It is a bit quirky like my ‘unique’ nervous system.
11: My body is a lemon
My body is a bit of a lemon. A system that’s not quite right - she’s built different.
12: This might hurt a bit
I don’t think you are meant to grate something as fragile as an egg.
13: Comfort Plus
My back hurts.
14: Snooze Plush Back Support
Still hurts...
15: Coils
Sometimes it feels like I have snakes constricting my legs. Couldn’t get any of those, so here are some party balloons.
16: Built to last
Do you see any strong ligaments here? No? Neither do I...
17: Brain Fog
I often get my words in a bit of a knot. My brain forgets it is a brain rather frequently.
18: Lemon Squash
Sometimes the blood pooling in my legs feels a bit like a weighted blanket. Small wins.
19: Medical mystery
I am known to be a bit of a medical mystery much like the intention behind this image.
20: my plate is full
Yes I know I chose the wrong crockery for the saying. I didn’t mean to. [Insert face-palm emoji]
21: It’s a balancing act
My balance has a tendancy to wobble. Apparently its a bit of a lack of blood flow not a unique walking style.
22: Powered by a lemon
You probably shouldn’t put powercords into a lemon. But anyways, here’s a photo about energy levels.
23: Lobotomy?
Do you think acupuncture to the brain would help?
24: Nevermind
Apparently it’s not an option.
25: Cliff Hanger
I saw a salt bush at Bunnings and thought — I love those. So naturally I put an egg in one.
26: Blocked
My right hand has a bit of a jammed signal to it so she can be a little funky sometimes.
27: Creative Block I
Was running out of ideas so here’s a brick on a paint brush...
28: Creative Block II
Here’s that poor paint brush again.
29: CURB NUDGER
My car suspension needs help and so do I.
30: Spoon Race
This is about the spoon theory. If you don’t understand it —Google it. I don’t have the energy.
30: One Percent
I need to mentally prepare for this.
32: Humpty Dumpty
This playground has a slippery slope — a bit like my mental state.
33: Procrasti-can’t
Do you ever feel stuck? When you know there are things that need doing but you just can’t get up...
34: Are you claustrophobic
If you have ever been in an MRI machine you will probably get this image.
35: Egg and pasta
A good representation of my posture...
36: Utterly confuzzled
Are you confused? So am I.
37: So I bought a potato
This was meant to be a cake but I couldn’t afford one, so I bought a potato instead. Enjoy.
38: Some assembly required — often
Sometimes I feel like a poorly constructed kids lego tower... on a Wednesday particularly.
39: Lemon ligamentus
Yes I know this looks a bit like pasta but its meant to be my overly stretchy ligaments.
40: staples?
If your toilet paper feels like this call 000.
41: It’s fiiine
This lovely assortment of objects is a pretty accurate representation of both my ankle and mental stability.
42: Weight on my shoulders
You’d think my shoulders would be jacked by the weight I usually carry on them.
43: Clockwork
I can’t make the meaning behind this one funny so I am just not going to give context instead.
44: Never ending story
At least my life’s plot is interesting.
45: my body feels heavy
I get tired. A lot.
46: High Stakes
If it’s not perfect, what’s the point.
