in which i wonder about my bellybutton

what is a belly button beyond a battle wound of being born? i know. this seems random, but my mind works like that so get used to it or click the red x at the top of the page and go somewhere else. ahem. right, bellybuttons. have you ever really looked at your bellybutton and thought about it? some people have the most adorable literally button-like belly buttons, but i am not so fortunate. i have an innie, a little scrunch of skin in the middle of my tummy, serving no purpose anymore. isnt it weird that something that was once so vital, something that kept me alive as a leeetle baby now does... nothing? well i mean the  bellybutton itself didnt do anything, because it didnt exist, but where it is was my umbellical cord, my bungee cord that kept me from floating up and getting tangled in mumzies intestines. sick. anyways, so how weird is it that umbellical cords keep you alive for 9 months, they dry up and fall off, leaving behind... a little scar we call a belly button! my little brother... actually the skin behind his belly button never closed up, so you could push it in and like okay push on yours, unless you're really fat your hand finger wont like go into your stomach, you'll feel resistance. he didnt have that, so it stuck out like 2 inches! he ended up having to get surgery, they went in and closed up the skin behind his belly button so now it looks normal... weirdness. anways, so now we have this thing in the middle of our stomachs that ppl just cant seem to leave alone, why pierce it? eew. that weirds me out... its a belly button, not an ear.. altho i guess ear piercing is weird if you think about it that way... so is nose piercing. anyways. ppl just cant leave it alone! they wear bikinis to show it off, all bedazzled and cute, but really... is it? i dunno. these thoughts are very strange, i know. i scare myself somedays. so.... lets appreciate our belly buttons, let's have a nation belly button day, let's write songs and odes and symphonies in their honor.... and then let's go get some arby's curly fries cuz i am starving.

         love always
