I don't post about myself on here very often, but it's important that I share a significant update in my life. I'm not sharing this so you feel sorry for me, or look up to me, or even feel proud of me. I'm sharing this so others can hear my story, so that others going through something similar can know that they're not alone.
I don't intend for this to be shocking, so I'm just going to say it now: I ate an entire ham by myself last Thursday. Simply typing those words out sent a wave of mixed emotions over me. On one hand, I'm relieved to get this off my chest. It feels freeing to share such a meaningful part of my life. On the other hand, it's terrifying, because now that everyone reading this knows I ate an entire ham by myself last Thursday I face the risk of experiencing judgment, strange looks, or whispers behind my back. Please know, however, that I am still me. I am still your family member, friend, work acquaintance, or whatever it is that I am to to you. I just happened to have eaten an entire ham by myself last Thursday.
It's not easy sharing this on the Internet, believe me. I'm not one to post personal information online, but I felt that it was important to share this with people that care about me, or are at least interested in what is going on in my life. I would also like to apologize to those among my friends and family who are just now finding out that I ate an entire ham by myself last Thursday, as it is not easy finding out about this kind of thing on the Internet. I want you all to know that the reason I did not tell all of you is not because I do not trust you, or because I don't want you to be a part of my life, but because my hands were still sticky with a honey-glaze that was on the ham that I ate entirely by myself last Thursday.
If you'd like to know more about "how" or "why" I ate an entire ham by myself last Thursday, feel free to message me personally, but I'm not going to go into it here. In this post I'm focusing more on the who (me), the what (ate an entire ham by myself), and the when (last Thursday). Details - like whether the ham was boneless, where I got the ham, and how long I cooked it - take away from what is really important to me, and that is that I ate an entire ham by myself last Thursday.
Like I said earlier in this post, part of the reason I wrote this is so I can reach out to others who have gone through similar things as me. For those of you reading this that also ate an entire ham by themselves last Thursday, please know that you are not alone. You are not strange, or abnormal, or a dummy-that-eats-too-much-ham, you are a person.
Seth, you are the Ham.
