1.
When you're happily living life and then spring rolls around:
2.
When you wake up and can't breathe out of one nostril, so you lie there thinking of all the times you took breathing for granted:
3.
When all your friends get to do fun spring things but you can't because the grass will touch you:
4.
When you feel the floodgates of your nostrils open and you frantically search for that old crusty tissue in your pocket:
5.
When the people and animals in your life should be grateful you're even still socializing with them:
6.
When it feels like an elephant is simultaneously sitting on your face and beating up your body:
7.
When your body thinks you’re actually dying but you're just FUCKING. DEALING. WITH. ALLERGIES:
8.
When you decide mascara is a waste of time because you're just going to scratch your eyes out anyway:
9.
When your eyes become so puffy and itchy that you can't even see:
10.
When Benadryl becomes your go-to drink most days:
11.
And when your allergy pills leave you looking high 24/7:
12.
Or worse, when nothing works so you have to just suffer:
13.
When you're completely disgusted by spring flowers because you know you'll immediately break out in painful hives:
14.
When you understand the plight of cats coughing up hairballs every time you go into a hysterical coughing frenzy of your own:
15.
When everyone assumes you're a cry baby but really your eyes are just super sensitive to pollen:
16.
When you just pray to the rain gods for heavy showers so that the pollen will float far, far away:
17.
But then you see pollen stuck on your car and realize that you just need a gas mask to survive:
18.
When you were given 80 million things at birth but the chance to live without allergies wasn't one of them:
19.
When you can only imagine what it must be like to live life allergy-free...
21.
But alas, when you wake up every morning and realize you've still got at least three more months of this shit:
