This blog is a mess, but full of things that mostly make me happy. I'm shy and awkward so sorry if I’m bad at social interaction. BIO: I'm a 34 year old PhD student (old, I know). I have been on Tumblr since 2011.
hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???
i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)
Theres a common argument that goes like "how can you say the threat I fear isn't real, look at all the things I do to protect myself from it!" And it's not clear how you even counter it. Except just saying "I think you are bad at assessing risk"
