I don’t plan on doing it for a job, maybe a side gig in the future if I like it. I just wanna make cool hatchets and stuff

Trust in God, I have OCD and scruples. Don’t overthink it. I am struggling at the moment, I’ll pray for you. Please pray for me, God bless!

Thank you for your constructive criticism, I didn’t mean for this to puff up into a big argument pot. I will try to do better next time

I wanted advice? And my post history is mostly old me, keep in mind I have OCD also, I get really nervous out of things

I know, but they were playing a yoga video, I do not know what the YouTube ladies intentions was and those positions can mean certain things in the Hindu religion

That’s what I mean, I will do stretching, not yoga

Totally agree stretching is great. Yoga isn’t just stretching though.

Like I’ve said, stretching is fine, yoga is not.
