In response to Di’s prompt challenge:
https://wp.me/p3RSgb-w1r

I woke up feeling jovial,
despite my reflection looking
like it had been dipped in jelly
and lightly confused by the lighting.
Someone once mentioned jaundice
in passing,
and now every time the room is too yellow
I squint at myself like a concerned amateur doctor.
Am I ill?
No.
Am I dramatic?
Absolutely.
So I wobbled on with jelly-like confidence,
smiled through the questionable glow,
and stayed jovial anyway —
because happiness doesn’t require perfect lighting
or a medically accurate mirror.
Sometimes you just jiggle forward,
laugh at yourself,
and call it a good day.
