RE: Blame it on the City

in Self Improvement2 years ago (edited)

No way you have a young child? I've never seen her.

What's up man? The above sentence is as true as this next one. I have no idea what you mean by changing cities in search of a parking spot falling more and more out of reality and further into depression. I might've adlibbed slightly.


For years the only thing I've had consistent for myself is the gym. I'm grateful for it and it's rewarding to appreciate the mirror but even that, the past couple years, is becoming increasingly challenging. It regularly takes everything I got to talk myself out of cutting my reps short or sliding out early.

I didn't relate to anything you said in case you can't tell.

This sentence is fuckin with me but something about the longer I do this the more my conversations are virtual and then I realize I'm being vulnerable with a monitor when all I want is to be somewhere I don't want to leave.

She is awesome!

Do you find that your gym routine tends to "ground" you in some way? There is something rewarding in doing something that we feel makes us better in some way I think.

Monitor vulnerability. It is the new bartender or hairdresser. It is an intimate relationship in many ways, but with a stranger that just listens. It is no wonder so many people are drawn into the digital life, in a world lacking real relationships.

Bartender or hairdresser. First time someone's said er typed that, so true.

Yes. Grounding/foundation, absolutely. That time of mine is part of her schedule even.
