Loss of depth

By kate on November 21st, 2005

My bellybutton is kind of freaking me out. Until now, my bellybutton has been unusually deep, and sensitive to the touch. It hurts to clean, and I rarely, if ever, really get to the bottom. If a finger is stuck far in, I feel like my innermost organs are being probed (and it’s uncomfortable).

Now, my bellybutton is as shallow as a tide pool. The bottom is not only accessible, but visible. I wouldn’t be surprised if it popped and became an outie soon. And, I don’t know why exactly, but it weirds me out. It’s kind of like I’ve lost access to part of my body / self.
