Well, okay. So the moths haven't avenged LOL It's really just hives (urticaria) that I got.
This is ridiculous. How am I supposed to manage these red bumps? Usually appearing for no reason... fading in less than a day... appearing where it wasn't minutes before. These things fade with no need for medication (usually within a few weeks) so there's really no medication for them. Also, you can't pinpoint exactly why hives break out. A lot of times it will just appear. Other times; well, there are a few factors depending on the type of hives. Acute urticaria lasts for less than six weeks and can be caused by chemical or allergic reaction by certain foods & medications, and/or sunlight exposure. While I don't think it was any foods I ate, I just recently had medications. Apparently, a drug that can cause hives include painkillers such as codeine. Specifically, the painkiller I had for my wisdom teeth extraction had codeine (I believe). There's also physical urticaria, which is direct physical stimulation of the skin. Heat, sun exposure, sweating, and exercise included. I list those because I got this the day after we went out to water front. (Also, that night, me & Jo exercised the hell out of the dances & I was sweating a lot. Not to mention, it was pretty hot in the house & I was waging war with a vacuum cleaner.) However, physical urticaria occurs right where the skin is affected, yet mine is all over the body.
As you can see, hard to pinpoint.
Hives are a response to histamine, chemical released from your blood vessels. And all those factors I mentioned will cause histamine release.
There's really no treatment so I have to wait it out. I hate thissss.

we live under the same sky
“To put away aimlessness and weakness, and to begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment; who make all conditions serve them, and who think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully.”
- James Allen Quotes
Sometimes I wonder how people see me and what they think of me. It scares me a bit, honestly. I am sure though, that what they think of me,
what they think my life is, is a complete misperception. I have always tried to show myself as a carefree person, as someone who wont get bothered
because of public judgements. I am sure my friend and family think there is nothing going wrong in my life, that I do not worry enough, that
I am always happy. And I am sure they probably somewhat hate me for it because, lets admit it, there is nothing worse than seeing someone
whose life seems so perfect while yours is a complete mess. Truth is, I have become an expert at pretending. I think we are all experts
or at least we are getting there.
I kept the image on the left bc it was kawaii-ne~ & this above bc I really liked what the creator wrote ^^
