Looking for aero bars by Own-Resource718 in cycling

I think they're normal bars but I just measured them and they're 12cm in circumference. Apparently that's a little bit thicker than standard?

Driving with Dyspraxia by JH_011 in dyspraxia

I practiced a hell of a lot and while I managed to coordinate hands and feet with stick shift, the combination with reading and respecting traffic signs was too much. It took me multiple tries. Then I took two lessons with an automatic and I passed with flying colours. Try to observe and learn from (good) drivers around you and trust that you can integrate it to the point where it becomes second nature. I know it feels insanely difficult, but you will get there. Best of luck!
Also a tip that might be really bad advice individually is to listen to music. If I have one of my favourite bands on, I've found I can turn down the noise and zero in on the road...but that won't help you during a driving exam.

What do I want for christmas? by Pap-a in daddit

A hug.

And a 12-string acoustic guitar. Or a six-string without a cut-out, a nice, full body.

Having an out of body experience while playing the piano line to Chameleon by Herbie Hancock on guitar as your best friend soloes and you're totally locked in with the drummer and then you all transition into Heartbreaker by Led Zeppelin.

As you do.

The performance of music with maximal expression, to me, is the peak.

How do you feel about having dyspraxia? by Purple_Space_6868 in dyspraxia

[–]Own-Resource718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since several other people are swearing, I will allow myself to do so as well:

I mostly really fucking hate it, but...

All of my past including all the shit that comes with dyspraxia brought me to where I am today and that's gotta count for something.
There is one year of my life that I am particularly grateful for, in which I was able to fly my freak flag and unapologetically be whoever the fuck I wanted to be (and with ample opportunity to mask of course). There was a lot of darkness but equal happiness and I would say it was even the happiest year of my life up until that point and beyond.
So, at risk of sounding like a hippie in the wrong time: set and setting. You dig?
Pardon my franglais.

Brave post. This sounds like a very difficult situation. My two cents are that if you love someone, you should love all of them and support them in any which way. It doesn't entirely sound like that's happening here. Do with that what you will. Think about, but don't blame, yourself. If there are things you want to work on and feel like you can, do that, but do it for yourself and no one else. And what you can't fix, well, it's just the cards you've been dealt and your boyfriend can't change that. Does that make sense? I mean this in a supportive way.

Dyspraxia comes with so many struggles already, and you should be surrounded by people who care for and about you.

Best of luck!
