Wasn’t expecting that

1/19 Edited to

... Read moreAs someone living with chronic illness and disability, I often find that humor is a crucial way to cope with the unpredictability and challenges of daily life. When I saw the idea of letting TikTok pick my sound, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but the outcome was genuinely surprising and amusing. TikTok’s algorithm has a quirky way of mixing trending sounds with personal stories, and this random selection can sometimes perfectly capture emotions or situations you never anticipated. Using TikTok for content creation while chronically ill allows me to engage with a broader community that gets the ups and downs of disability life. It’s more than just entertainment — it’s a way to increase disability awareness and create a space where funny and heartfelt moments coexist. TikTok trends like #TikTokPicksTheSong and #DisabilityAwareness help bring visibility to experiences often underrepresented in mainstream media. In my posts, I try to blend lighthearted humor with insight, showing that living with chronic illness doesn’t mean life stops being funny or engaging. Using trending sounds selected by TikTok can add a fresh and unexpected twist that resonates with audiences. If you’re navigating chronic illness, I recommend embracing these social media trends to share your unique voice and connect with others who understand your journey.

A hand holds open a book on a textured blanket, revealing unique verse-like text formatting with varied indentations. An overlay reads, "this book surprised me when i opened it..." A paper rose decoration is in the background.
The cover of the book "Lawless Spaces" by Corey Ann Haydu is displayed on a textured blanket. An overlay states, "i picked it up on a whim, read the synopsis and thought 'yes,' then i opened the book..."
An open book shows its experimental writing style with non-rhyming verse and distinct line breaks on a textured blanket. An overlay reads, "it's written in such a unique manner - it's in verse (sort of) but doesn't all rhyme."

the title of this book caught my eye. then i read the synopsis and it was an immediate yes. then i opened it and was like WHOA it’s written in verse! but a little different than verse. it doesn’t all rhyme. the sentences are broke in certain places (definitely on purpose). some things are indent

I recently finished Godwin. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but this story was much funnier than I thought it would be and quite propulsive. Surprise surprise! Review coming soon. ** This is a gifted copy from Pantheon ** — #BookLadyReads #lemon8bookclub #lemon8bookchallenge

A neutral-toned bedroom features a bed with white and beige bedding, two framed artworks above the headboard, and sheer curtains covering a large window. Text overlay indicates this is an Amazon bedroom finds comparison.
A product image displays a mid-century modern dresser with nine drawers, featuring a slatted wood design and solid wood legs, presented in a room setting with decor.
A bedroom scene shows a wall-mounted television above a wooden dresser with a slatted design. A bed with neutral bedding and sheer curtains are also visible.
I wasn’t expecting to love this Amazon combo so much—neutral, soft, and dreamy.

Picture this, it’s your first time on an electric scooter and you’re having a great time, but you don’t realize how fast then can actually go… until you see a car behind you and you try to make a turn to move, jump a curb, and ram straight into a building 💀💀🤦🏻‍♀️🥲. Luckily, I didn’t fall to the

A scenic winter landscape showing a winding road through a snow-covered mountain pass under a cloudy sky, with the text 'This city by the mountains actually surprised me!' overlayed.
A snowy highway stretching towards distant snow-covered mountains under a bright blue sky, with the text 'Salt Lake City, Utah (Stay with me here!)' overlayed.
The interior of evo Salt Lake, a cafe with colorful murals, comfortable couches, and a wooden coffee table, with a laptop displaying a green landscape.
I honestly wasn’t expecting to like it as much!
What a surprise! I feel like Salt Lake City is definitely underrated and frankly, a bit misunderstood! I had been told that Salt Lake City is a very conservative city where they don’t serve alcohol and that there’s not much to see. I wasn’t too stoked about stopping here on my roadtrip, but I’m s
