something i've learned in the last few months is that when you bite the sides of your tongue, ever so gently, subconsciously, and frequently, you can develop what's called a scalloped tongue, which is basically when those bite marks show for the long haul. i learned this from experience, and it made me think about all of the little ways my day-to-day anxiety presents itself: biting the inside of my cheeks; grinding my teeth; tensing my jaw. i found it a fitting metaphor for the way that the freedom to express yourself freely in a relationship, romantic or platonic, comes from very carefully curated expression. kind of feels like lockjaw.

my jaw doesn't feel tense anymore but the scalloped tongue has low key become a staple. makes me feel a little like a lizard. thought you should know that to lighten the mood
