I cause a lot of problems for myself and now that I live in the city I've been getting pretty stressed.
Cities are bad
Too many people
Too urban
Yeah. Nothing ever stops here.
I used to be able to get on my bike and be somewhere silent in 20 minutes.
Now I have to drive, and I have to go an hour or two.
Yeah that's not good at all
I hate towns like that
Here in bend is comfy quiet around 10pm
That and everyone is so careless and rich here. It frankly annoys me.
Used to be dead silent at like 7pm
Money corrupts even the purest of souls
I'm not exactly poor but like.
The lack of it
And the uh
Opposite
Both are bad
I went to get my bike repaired and the guy just did the repair without telling me how much it would cost first and getting my approval.
That's just normal out here.
People are willing to pay that kind of thing.
I always ask people if they'd like to hear our room rates before making a reservation
Brb gotta close the pool
I mean, it's true that I was going to pay for the repair regardless. But I would've liked to know what it would cost first.
Maybe they assumed that as a bike owner I must have enough money for a minor repair.
man, i literally went from spending every hour of the day outside exercising, to spending every hour inside playing video games in literally no time at all
My transition was the opposite.
like no transition, just stopped going outside lmaoo
When I got really depressed a couple years ago I started going on like 6 hour walks until 4AM in the winter.
During the day I'd lay on my bedroom floor and stare at the ceiling.
i used to go for pretty long walks late into the night myself, a few years ago. but now i have no one to go on walks with, so i just dont really want to go by myself
Yeah. I always wished I had someone to go with.
I got really lonely on those walks and my mind took me to very dark places.
That's why they were so long.
I would get so lost in my thoughts, next thing I know I'm a town over with no recollection of how I got there.
When I started biking it got even worse. I could find myself 30 miles away from home or more with no plan to get back.
Even this week I went on three 65-mile bike rides. One every day for 3 days. The route included over 2000ft of elevation changes and on the last one I was just numb to the pain.
For me, exercise has lost its purpose as a way to invigorate myself and reconnect with nature. It's now just another type of escapism.
i actually do miss going outside. i miss living on the farm, and going outside into the woods, biking to the river. even the walks in the city were fun when i had someone to go with. all i do now, every day, all day long, is play video games. at least i started sitting in the living room so i actually get some sunlight, since my basement is windowless and dimly lit
