10 Absolute Truths from a Perpetually Curious Storyteller

10 Absolute Truths from a Perpetually Curious Storyteller

List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.

Hey there, wonderful readers! It’s Tina, your perpetually curious storyteller, back again with another deep dive into the marvelously chaotic web of musings.

Today, I’m channeling my inner philosopher (or perhaps just a well-organized squirrel) to share with you a list of ten things I know to be absolutely certain. Buckle up, because this ride is going to have a few twists, turns, and plenty of laughter.


1. Coffee is Life

Let’s start with an easy one. Coffee isn’t just a drink; it’s a lifestyle, a ritual, a life force. I can’t be the only one who swears to speak fluently in the morning only after that first magical sip of my favorite brew. The transformative power of caffeine is nothing short of wizardry.

2. Murphy’s Law is Real

Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. It’s a universal truth. If you’ve ever tried to cook a new recipe for guests and ended up with the smoke alarm as company, you know what I mean. Still, there’s always a silver lining—these moments make for the best stories.

3. Netflix Binges are Both Rewarding and Regrettable

Ah, Netflix, the double-edged sword of our era. Binge-watching is both a badge of honor and a scar of shame. The dopamine hit of a good series cliffhanger is worth the occasional sleep deprivation, even if there’s a fleeting moment of “what am I doing with my life?” afterward.


4. Moms Always Know

This one’s indisputable. Moms possess mystical, almost otherworldly knowledge. Whether it’s predicting the weather or knowing the exact moment you’re feeling down, they’re always right. Remember the time my mom warned me about wearing white at that barbecue? Ketchup had a field day.

5. Life Plans are Glorified Suggestions

You can draft the most meticulous life plan, color-coded and all, but life has a knack for spicing things up unpredictably. Plans change, and that’s perfectly fine. In fact, it can be quite the adventure.

6. Cats Internally Debate World Domination

If you’re a cat owner, you already know this. Our feline friends are secretive masterminds. I’m convinced that behind those cute eyes, there’s a PowerPoint presentation on “How to Rule Humans 101.”


7. The Best Conversations Happen at 2 a.m.

There’s a magical time in the night when conversations grow deeper and thoughts more profound. Whether you’re re-hashing childhood stories or pondering the meaning of life, there’s something almost sacred about those late-night talks.

8. Travel is the Best Education

Forget textbooks; the world is the best classroom. Whether you’re navigating Tokyo or a small Italian village, travel opens your heart and broadens your mind. It challenges your perspective (and your digestive system!), and it’s all part of the experience.

9. Everyone Needs a Hobby (Or Three)

Whether it’s knitting, cooking, or growing an excessive collection of houseplants, hobbies are crucial. They keep us sane, provide us with joy, and, more crucially, give us unique ways to procrastinate.


10. Laughter Really is the Best Medicine

When life throws curveballs, laughter is a remarkable antidote. Whether it’s a shared memory or a friend calling a hedgehog a “hedgedog,” never underestimate the power of a good laugh. It’s the glue that holds our sanity together.

Finding Humor in the Mundane

There you have it—ten things I know to be absolutely certain. While the universe remains full of mysteries, these little nuggets of truth keep us grounded and amused. Finding the humor in the mundane makes the journey all the more delightful.

Stay curious, stay certain, and keep laughing!

Love, Tina ✨☕️✈️🐈
