“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you...”
– Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky (via girlwithoutwings)
Anonymous asked: are you going to the beatles: the lost concert" movie when it comes out next month?
Practical talk:
(grandmother, while making curry, age 71)
Her: I'm tired of listening to young people say that they want a happy life, happy career, happy partner and all that happy stuff without facing pain. When I was young, we admired the person with the most painful life. Wanna know why? Because it made them beautiful. Now this isn't beautiful like those super models on TV and those cheeky girls in movies. I don't like those cheeky girls in those films. No, it made them beautiful because they learned how to endure life and its agony. They knew how to appreciate the little things in life. They were deep, meaningful, beautiful people. Happiness without suffering for a while is hollow. It's empty. Empty is not beautiful. Are you listening? Empty is not beautiful. I'm tired of finding these young people looking to escape when there's so much to learn in this life. One day you're going to thank the pain for giving you the guts you needed to go through life with your head held up high. Pain is important, you understand? It gives you guts, it gives you wings.
Me: Your curry is boiling.
Her: Oh. Yes. Pass me that red spice.

adulting:
(Note: this is one of the first Adulting entries; reprinted because I still think it’s useful even if you don’t feel like scrolling through 30 pages of archive)
This is the most difficult and important thing to accept if you wish to be a grownup: You are not a special snowflake.

fiture:
Sometimes things that work are counter intuitive but can be the deciding factor in achieving your fitness goals.
Stress raises cortisol levels in your body. Cortisol is a hormone that increases your body fat and decreases your muscle. The less muscle you have the slower your metabolism.
Reduce the stress in your life by learning how to deal with stress healthily and watch your belly...

Coffee
I have had many cups.
Yet my eyes, they remain droopy. Damn restless nights. Be gone I say!
What I LOVE about getting fit
is that even though sometimes it makes you feel weak (that last set of assisted pullups - oh how they burn) it sometimes makes you feel invincible. For me it’s usually after a round of hiit sprints/jogs, while the sweat rolls down my back (and other places I won’t mention), my face beams out a radioactive tomato red and I’m gasping for air like a fish out of water…right...
I choose to believe….
dwiggle:
that when I’m out running and guys in trucks slow down, honk, and give me the thumbs up sign they are simply doing it because they see someone out joyously running in the sunshine. I’m sure they just want to give me encouragement for doing such a great job.
thank you kind sirs for your encouragement.
Haha I wish I could deal with it so calmly
