my wife has identified as a "very clumsy" person since i met her. i didn't really understand it at first and assumed she might mentally embellish little slips most people have... but she does tend to get hurt a lot.
when we started living together, i realized that bandages and first aid supplies are kind of a thing you won't get constant reminders about when you're low on stock like how "hungry" will remind you that you're low on food, but you'll really regret if you don't have them when you need them because you put it off to save a few dollars.
nowadays me and her have separate boxes of bandages. my bandages are some camo patterns that come in 2 colors: pink and blue.
i picked camo because i primarily use bandages on my face, to stop myself from picking when i can't seem to willpower myself into stopping alone. usually the bandages are enough of a deterrent on top of knowing i shouldn't do it, and that if i rip it off i'll have wasted the bandage AND i'll need to stop what i'm doing again and get up and go put another one on again.
they're camo because a bandage on your face is always going to be pretty obvious. at least it doesn't look like i'm trying to poorly hide something when they're clearly visible, and it's just funny to me because i love the running joke of pretending people who are wearing camouflage patterns in urban environments are invisible.
anyway, i didn't expect the blue and pink thing to matter so much when using the bandages, but i have a heavy preference for the blue most of the time. it feels stupid to buy a new box when i still have more of the pink ones, so instead it seems i just get really pissy and try to establish a pecking order about which kinds of headspaces i am "allowed" to have the blue bandages in.
who would've guessed that i, a person who draws for a living, would have strong opinions and preferences about an aesthetic element on my face!
