        counterpoint: if I don’t push my limits, how will I ever grow strong? really, not practicing self care is exactly the same as getting my 30 minutes a day run or fistful of spinach in. not that eating disorders are off the table. you know, if I really want to toughen up mentally.

          Well yes but honestly I am not sure if toughening up is really what most people think it is and want it.

          It’s better to feel more than feel kinda empty from all the toughening. There is no value in suffering

            okay, but, counterpoint, what if I’m already in a living hell and want to see that as virtuous to feel something? huh? did you ever think of that?

                  I wish, I would have all my dental stuff in check then and easy retirement

                  No I am just another hamster in this beautiful concrete paradise

                  Edit: guys do I really sound like a fucking fed? I wanted to comfort someone for once. I admit that I can’t feel shit because of all the toughening but logically it doesn’t seem that hard. eh well I hope they are okay more or less, stable
