  • I get this feeling too and actively look for it. My best times achieving this have been scuba diving or snorkeling, sitting still after an intense ashtanga class, stopping by after a storm while driving out of a woodsy lonely area. That lack of auditory or otherwise sense stimuli makes me feel super calm but I try to watch out how I do it so I don’t freak myself or others out. I have been tempted to go to a flotarium, you know like that kid from Stranger things in her giant tub of water, but it kinda scares me.








  • A little of this, a little of that.

    Positive: Someone reached out to me to tell me that one of my pieces (I am an artist) made them emotional and that it was beautiful. It made my day and I was (am) absolutely beaming.

    Negative: Hard earned money that had to go pay some stupid bills. I try not to dwell much on it, but it makes me feel rage at times.




  • Me! I did it for years while in my twenties, then stopped because of injury, bad form and other circumnstances. Now I’ve picked it up again but through a personal trainer. My goal is long term mobility and independence, not so much muscle growing so I strength train 3 times a week, pilates or barré 2 times a week and yoga daily to stretch and help my mental health. I love being able to do pushups and other exercises that challenge me and feeling stronger and stronger everyday. Good for you for listening to your body and what it needs, no need to risk injury to kick ass IMO.


  • You must have had a class on how to do research, how to cite a paper, how to look for books in a library, etc. No?

    I am not trying to come of as condescendent at all, it truly baffles me because I had such classes starting in middle school all the way up to graduate school and they were mandatory. Isn’t that the standard in higher education?
