i was a personal trainer for a bit and honestly if you were my client id ask you to go get guidelines from a physical therapist first. swimming and light calisthenics should be fine, but listen to your body first and do not push it/make it hurt

that all that studying and academic pressure had basically zero payoff other than at least im employed

my parents had me convinced id magically save the world. made me feel like id never have to try, so i didnt. we see how that worked out lol

people who go outside with zero spatial awareness. if youre going to walk slow, stay to the side. if you go up to get a closer view and take a pic, gtfo once ur done so others can get closer

they just wanted to save everyone the embarassment of being -40 minutes late to work

incredible overview thank you. can i ask what field you’re in? techs getting grim so im not sure if i should double down or just give up and get an mba

i used to be so anxious and shy i could hardly say a word to my best friends from childhood. you embarrass yourself over and over till it starts to get a little easier. now i can talk to a group of people i dont know well with only a little anxiety

i like to read philosophy. buddhist, islamic, hindu, european. doesnt matter. you can find stories of people going through the worst shit imaginable and finding peace. gives me hope

howd you get around to moving to japan? hoping to move internationally, not necessarily japan, but always wondering how jobs/visas/etc worked for people.

i dont think ill ever be in the mindset to get massively ripped off by a shitty company in buttfuck nowhere florida. no hate to people who enjoy it but it used to be a more reasonably priced endeavor. now the prices are worse and the lines longer than ever. with that kind of money id rather take a week in a cabin or nyc or something

most creators have patreons or sell merch. youtube doesn’t get a cut from that so you can support more directly!

id thrift more wood pieces but i dont have the tools/space to fix it up. also i move a lot and that stuff is HEAVY

braiding sweetgrass by robin kimmerer. i tear up every chapter I read. truly ties together nature and humanity in a beautiful way

rich people vote to keep themselves rich. cant not be rich when you buy $250 workout sets and drink powdered, overpriced _juices

there is a near limitless supply of text to read. if you start a book that feels too light or boring, ditch it. i think its worthwhile to read things you dislike or may not agree things from time to time, but its totally okay to abandon a book that you do not feel is worth your time. i say start with what interests you most! i think a good reading list is a mutable construct to give you ideas on what to read next and keep you from forgetting books you heard about, not necessarily a list to really kill. also you can remove books from it that dont interest you anymore, its not an assignment. i think a strong book lover will have a list that keeps growing throughout their life :)

my favorite switches all the time. currently obsessed w chamomile, thai assam, hojicha (roasted green), and also earl gray! tho we make london fogs w lavendar mostly

thank god i had my adblocker on. didnt even realize :/
