@rosa i'm glad the world — or the folks around you — didn't give up on you during that decade. what woke you up?

that much exercise will probably come with some soreness. i have chronic lower back pain (inherited), so i've learnt exercises and habits to mitigate the flare-ups. but then there's actual body-ageing which is hard to side-step

things went a lot more slowly with my body, so it i guess afforded me the chance to acclimate to changes, but in so happening, the pace was maddening and at times spirit-breaking
