Alright, so you wanna know about this… this uh… opossum thing, right? Okay, okay, I’ll tell ya what I know. Don’t expect no fancy words though, I’m just tellin’ it like it is.
First off, they call it a “totem” animal. Sounds all highfalutin, don’t it? But it just means this critter, this opossum, it’s got some kinda special meanin’ for ya. Like it’s tryin’ to tell ya somethin’.
Now, these opossums… they ain’t pretty, that’s for sure. Look like big rats with bald tails, if you ask me. But they’re tough little buggers. They survive all sorts of stuff. They call ‘em survivors, yeah, that’s it, survivors who just keep on keepin’ on. They find a way, no matter what. That’s kinda the first thing this opossum totem is tellin’ ya – you gotta be tough too. Life throws all kinds of junk at ya, you gotta learn to roll with the punches, just like that ugly little opossum.
And another thing, they play dead, you know? When somethin’ scary comes along, they just flop over and act like they’re gone. Smart, ain’t it? That’s another lesson. Sometimes, the best way to deal with trouble is to just… lay low. Don’t make a fuss. Wait it out. Pretendin’ things ain’t botherin’ ya, sometimes that works wonders.
- Playing dead – sometimes you just gotta lay low.
- Toughness – life ain’t easy, you gotta be strong.
- Adaptability – gotta go with the flow.
They also say these opossums are adaptable. Big word, huh? Means they can change, they can fit in wherever they are. Gotta eat garbage? They’ll eat garbage. Gotta hide in a ditch? They’ll hide in a ditch. They don’t complain, they just… do what they gotta do. And that’s somethin’ we all need to learn. You can’t always have things your way, you gotta bend a little, like a willow in the wind. That’s what the opossum is tellin’ ya – be adaptable.
Now, some folks say if you see an opossum, it’s a warnin’. Like, watch out for bad people, people who wanna bring ya down. And if you see a dead one… well, that’s a sign to spend time with your family, your friends, the folks you love. Makes sense, I guess. Life’s short, you gotta appreciate the good things while you got ‘em. Opossums don’t live long, so they say it’s a reminder to enjoy your life, especially when you’re young. Or to be young at heart, no matter how old you are. Kids, they like these opossums, they’re kinda the same, full of energy and mischief.
Oh, and one more thing. They say “possum” and “opossum” – it’s the same thing. Just different ways of sayin’ it. Like “tomayto” and “tomahto,” you know? Don’t get hung up on the little things. That’s another thing this opossum critter teaches ya.
So, there ya have it. That’s what I know about this opossum totem thing. It’s about bein’ tough, bein’ smart, bein’ adaptable, and not letting the bad things get ya down. It’s about takin’ care of yourself and the people you love. And it’s about rememberin’ that life’s short, so you gotta make the most of it. Not bad for an ugly little critter, huh?
