to be fair, “lightly fucked” is an extremely apt description for many things these days…

(and “extremely fucked” is an apt description for many more.)

2019 → Dissociation → 2024!?!?

speaking of starting slow,

I’ve found that increasing how speedily i perform my exercise has diminishing returns and only increases the odds of injuring oneself

but when i go through the motions slowly, it is then that I feel optimally exerted. 20 slow squats pay off better than 20 fast ones. or perhaps even 40.

the goal isn’t to feel pain, but to accomplish the work. And furthermore, if we injure ourselves, then we lose progress being unable to work out while convalescing.

(i mean, like, individual muscle fibers are going to tear and then be mended and make the muscle stronger over time but it’s gotta be moderated and also we never want to damage our ligaments, tendons, or cartilage)

fr fam, it’s fear >_>;

and the agony of lived experience

This year was a close call for me. I’m only JUST BARELY managing to get my life back on track.

It is precisely that alarm going off that got me to take the steps I’ve been needing to take.

This is the message I needed to receive years ago so when I see an opportunity to echo it, I do.

I’ve set a calendar notice :3

NO

RIGHT NOW

RIGHT THIS SECOND

TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE

STAND UP AND STRETCH

TOUCH THE FLOOR, THEN THE CEILING

DO IT AGAIN, AT LEAST 10 TIMES

ONE DAY YOU WILL WAKE UP AND DISCOVER YOUR BODY IS INCAPABLE OF THIS AND IT WILL DESTROY YOU MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. THE DESTRUCTION YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW CAN ALWAYS FEEL WORSE, AND IT WILL BE INFINITELY SO IF A SEDENTARY LIFE DISABLES YOU

SO STAND THE FUCK UP AND DO THOSE FUCKING SQUATS

WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

When mom walks in on you jerking it,

what you do is MAKE DIRECT EYE CONTACT, AND FINISH.

That’ll teach her why walking in on you is a bad idea.
