Day 79 "Comfort In No Surprises"

I know that there exists a mouthwash that does not burn the flesh off the inside of your mouth, but I will never give up my morning ritual of feeling that bacteria burned in a purifying acid wash of blue, or green, or any other color of the rainbow of pain.

Why? 

Because life has too many surprises as it is, that’s why.

Some things I am happy with knowing the whole story, and knowing what to expect. Sometimes I just need to know that I absolutely know something.

Not everything needs to be an adventure, not everything needs to have secrets yet to be uncovered, and not everything needs to feel so alien.

Sometimes, it is important to know the ending of the story. 

Sometimes there is true comfort in knowing what to expect next, and in knowing that first thing in the morning you are going to suffer a bit for beauty and hygiene.

I have no idea what tomorrow brings, whether I will finally have answers to some of these questions that float around my head all hours of the night, or whether I will finally see clearly what will happen next?...but this I know, that tomorrow I will wake up and feel the pleasant expectant burn of purifying mouthwash.

I know this one thing, this one thing for certain I feel confident in.

The only problem is that I do not know whether I will be here in the morning, and Time The Thief never reveals this surprise beforehand.
