so glad it was nothing serious…that handsome doc should have given you some tips on how to not bite the lip you didn’t even know you were biting 😉

your haiku is very moving and the photo says so much in its simplicity too!

Oh dear friend! I am sorry, but I have no advice for you!! I pick my cuticles on my fingers. I pick them until they bleed!!! and I don’t notice that I am doing it either, it is only after my fingers look like I grated them on a cheese grater that I notice!!! I tried band aids, but you know what? I just picked the bandad till it was ripped!!
I hope your lipstick works!!!

I used to bite the inside of my cheeks until my dentist said it could cause cancer if I kept doing it. Let me tell you that fixed me up real quick fast and in a hurry!! Scared the crap out of me and the next time I went my cheeks looked all good!! I guess when you keep biting them those white spots or streaks can appear and they could potenially cause trouble if you don’t remove the source, which was for me the chewing. It sound soo gross when you think of it eh? haha But it made me stop!!

So glad that it’s not something serious! I think you should find something else to distract you….twirl a pen? *LOL*

I love the macro with the steel clothespins! They do seem to augur a clear and luminous night!

Chapstick? Gum? I’m always clenching my jaw. When I catch myself doing it, I of course stop. But how long was I clenching?

Re The Biting Your Lip Thing: We find that powdered gecko claws mixed with honey usually do the trick.
Love the haiku, and I learned two new words from it too – harbingers and limpid – so thanks for that (my first guess for limpid was way off the mark).
Re, “white sheets in the wind”: You have my sympathy. I hate it when that happens.

All the best, Boonie

I love your haiku as well and your stark black and white photos, so artsy! I love that I get to learn Dutch each time I come here, so great. Everyone has habits they develop over their lifetime, Marit. Biting your lip is pretty mild I would say. Here is a great quote from Gwyneth Paltrow to go with your new cure:

Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.
~Gwyneth Paltrow.

And there you have it my dear.
Haiku paint those pretty lips.
