Opossums are the creatures on the street that you see as a kid and scream, "Mommy, someone's cat got out, let's go help it!". And then as you get closer, you see its bald tail and it screams at you with jaws that open so wide, you think you'll get sucked into the abyss of the back of their gaping mouths. It screams, you scream… and that's what we call trauma! As you get older though, opossums stop being the creepy, night-born ground creature that you remember seeing rummage through your garbage.

In fact, with every passing day, you're starting to feel more and more like that opossum, relating with their struggles and wondering how to fix them. Maybe it's the empathy growing in your adult heart, or maybe it's just that you've realized that you sometimes love trash too. You both have bags under your eyes, you both are awake in the middle of the night scouring for snacks, and you both aren't the cutest critter on the block, but you and your neighborhood opossum both have an understanding that's unshakable: trash food is delicious and scaring children is fun.
