I never imagined I’d become what felt like a human volcano, but here I am—spewing heat and feeling the burn in ways I never expected. It all started with a strange sensation deep inside me, like something was slowly bubbling up, ready to erupt.
At first, it was just a mild discomfort—a warmth that crept up my chest and settled in my throat. But soon enough, it turned into something more intense: a fiery sensation that made me feel as if molten lava was coursing through my veins. People around me joked about how hot-tempered I seemed lately, but little did they know this wasn’t just an expression—it felt real.
The cause? A mix of stress and some unexpected health issues that triggered inflammation inside my body. Just like a volcano releases ash and gases during an eruption, my body started reacting by producing heat and irritation internally. My skin would flush red without warning; sometimes my eyes would sting or water as if exposed to volcanic ash; even breathing felt heavier at times—like inhaling tiny particles that irritated my lungs.
Living with this “internal volcano” meant learning how to manage the flare-ups without letting them take over completely. Protective measures became part of daily life: staying hydrated helped cool things down from within; avoiding triggers like spicy food or extreme temperatures prevented sudden eruptions; gentle skincare soothed irritated patches when they flared up unexpectedly.
What surprised me most was how much this fiery experience taught me about resilience. Just as real volcanoes shape landscapes over time—sometimes destructive but often creating fertile ground for new life—I found strength in adapting to these internal changes rather than fighting them outright.
Eventually, embracing the heat became less about discomfort and more about understanding myself better—recognizing when tension builds too high or when rest is needed before another eruption occurs. This journey transformed what once felt like an unbearable burden into something oddly empowering: knowing that beneath the surface lies energy waiting to be channeled constructively instead of feared blindly.
So yes, accidentally becoming a human volcano wasn’t on any bucket list—but living through it has given me fresh perspective on patience, care, and acceptance of life’s unpredictable fires burning within us all.
