A letter to Ribs

Ribs I’m writing this with a mix of laughter and care, because friendship is also this: saying what no one says, but saying it gently. Life already puts enough pressure on you, you don’t need to hold onto one more discomfort. That hemorrhoid you’ve been ignoring? Yeah… it’s your body clearly saying, “please take care of me.” Don’t ignore it, don’t keep postponing, don’t pretend it’s nothing. Hemorrhoids don’t magically disappear with stubbornness, and honestly… it’s about time you faced it. Go take care of it — no shame, no drama, because health matters, even the parts we don’t talk about. And I’m here laughing with you, not at you, just hoping to see this whole thing… finally resolved. With affection (and a little bit of concern), from someone who just wants you well.
