    As an adult I’ve often tried to be conscious of when different aches are not happening. Maybe it’s a sign of getting old.

    I was an asthmatic child. Still am as an adult but I sort of out grew it in my teens. It still pops up when Im sick, or when air quality dips, or if I get allergies, or its there but Im used to it and it's not as bad as when I was young.

    As a kid though oh man I would frequently come down with colds and frequently have a clogged nose. It was not uncommon for me to breath through one nostril for a day, then it might shift later that evening and no amount of blowing or picking would save it. Then of course when I was sick which again was frequent I would be a mouth breather.

    I still loudly sneeze through my mouth as an adult, not because I want to make a scene but because sneezing through my nose would hurt and lead to two snot trails flowing down my face.

    Its funny now that I think about it I usually dont carry tissues with me but as a kid I always had a pack in my pocket because snot was an inevitability.

    Brandy is your friend. Well, for one night it's your friend and the next day you'll feel awful but at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing it was self inflicted rather than some poxy self-replicator making you feel bad.

    I had this exact thought back in high school, and for some reason I still remember it every so often and just sit there, thankful I can breathe so well in that moment.

      then your mouth will get all dry and if you're sick you've probably got a sore throat too, the #1 time I try not to breath through my mouth

      stuffed nose leads to sore throat though, inevitably. cos you breathe through your mouth and your throat dries out
