BREAKING: My Ankle Gave Out a Little Bit While Walking on the Sidewalk

This is so fucking embarrassing

I consider myself something of an expert in walking on a sidewalk. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t always like this. I’ve had to sacrifice a lot to become this good at walking on the sidewalk. Lots of trial and error; training in the rain, snow, sleet. You name it, I’ve seen it all. And for some reason there was always someone else doing it better than me: walking harder, faster, stronger. 

I’ve overcome a lot to get to where I am today as an S-tier sidewalk walker, but I am only human. I still have my off days. As a matter of fact, the other day my ankle gave out a little bit when I was walking on the sidewalk. Those are the scariest moments because not only could my ankle actually get sprained or broken, but I could also fall over into a tree or poop or something. And that’s just straight up embarrassing, and I don’t think my character could withstand such a blunder. 

However, I was able to immediately get to the root as to why my ankle gave out. It was because I was trying to chew gum, text, and breathe while walking! Absolutely foolish of me! Everyone knows that you’re supposed to stop walking before taking your next breath.
