i had a friend who would go to the rink every week and started learning how to skate backwards and twirl. i decided to follow her lead and try to go to the rink every week. i’m really bad and slow but it‘s so meditative and i’ve met some sweeties of all ages who have given me tips! i had my first fall today! it was so scary i had to leave the rink, but i’m hoping it gets less scary the more i do it. 🤓yay

good on you for going out of your comfort zone to try something fun :) I’ve barely ever stepped foot near an ice rink

There’s something inherently special about public outdoor ice skating rinks.
Despite ending up with a concussion the last time I was at the outdoor rink, throughout winter it has served as a public space free of pretension (rare!)
Whoever you are, ice skating brings out the inner child in everyone because it’s all boiled down to one thing: gliding over ice.
Look left, a six year old has fallen for the umpteenth time. A smile from ear to ear. Look right, a 60 year old man, hockey obviously being a past life, fluttering past you. A smile from ear to ear.

Best thing I did this year. Forces me to work with a limited library of records, CDs, and cassettes, which makes me learn new music outside of an algorithm. I have joined Ann Arbor’s wcbn and it’s a great third space and a community full of different ages and life experiences. So wholesome and a great way to unwind!!

I have to take myself on a walk or I’ll get the zoomies late at night
I have to drink water even tho I’m like a cat and can go days without it…
I have to eat more than pasta and pastries or I’ll feel decrepid
I have to be stimulated or I’ll binge real housewives til my eyes hurt…
I’ll be anxious, feel negatively towards loved ones, and think of existential reasons I feel the way I do but for the most part these unmet necessities underly my agonizing condition
