Context matters!

Take out a ruler, or a tape measure. Go ahead, it’s ok, I’m not gonna trick you into doing anything stupid, i promise. ok, got the measuring device? Take a look at how big one inch is. I mean really look, compare it to the size of your fingers, other shit you have sitting around, whatever. Really take it in.

Now…Imagine having a hole that big going straight through some part of your body.

Your gut clenched a bit, didn’t it? Or you winced a smidge. Yeah, me too.

But then I realized that the goal i have for my ears will do exactly that. My ears are at 9/16″, with a goal to return to the 3/4″ i once had. Imagining that size hole in my ear lobe doesn’t make my gut clench, it makes my heart happy.

So, yeah, context fucking matters!
