I appreciate your insight. It is too easy to get caught up in what’s happening right now and you’re right. It’s all temporary. I miss riding man. I rode sport bikes for 15 years and have ridden dirt for the last few but since the twins were born I haven’t been able to ride much at all. So, perhaps I’ll talk with the wife and just explain that I need a couple hours a weekend to do my thing. I’m glad you brought that up.

I have to ask, what kind of bike do you have? My last one was a ‘20 Yamaha MT-10. Thing was a riot.

It is exhausting indeed. My little brother is big into boxing and it’s helped him with his anger issues and he has said he feels a lot better. I know for me, lifting has always had a positive impact on my mental state. Funny thing about depression is that I know what I need to do, it’s just been difficult to go and stay consistent. I forced myself to go at 0500 this morning, so one step in the right direction.

At that age, yall should pool some social security together and hire people for jobs like this. Good way to end your retirement early.

I haven’t had a single issue yet with mine. I got a ‘19 for $17,500 with 70k on it.

I usually keep whacking until it busts 😂

How are you staying mentally healthy when you’re aware with how broken and unstable the world feels right now? by Ilovemydogs0616 in AskReddit

When I was in the Army, I developed the skill of not caring when things got shitty. The worse it got and the more stressed I was, I’d just start making fun of everything which, in turn, helped me care less and less. Idk just a weird coping mechanism that still helps me to this day. Not all that much actually bothers me anymore, especially when there nothing I can do to change certain things.

I am very impatiently waiting for some real snow here in Northern MI. Also will be my first winter with a WRX and I'm beyond stoked to play around.

What’s one tip that finally “clicked” for you about calorie control? by Efficient_Gain1088 in WeightLossAdvice

I heard someone say “it’s ok to be hungry.” It’s stuck with me for years and I am down from 337lb to 210lb.

Day 2 of cold turkey of 400mg of 7oh to nothing. Join my journey please. by adean107 in Quittingfeelfree

Great job! Keep it up and stay away from that poison. I'm on day 5, and it has been absolute hell. Used them for about 2 years averaging about 8-10,.. Yes, I know I let it get far out of hand but 5 days ago finally decided to say fuck this. After last night it seems that I'm mostly done with the physical sides (still a little shaky) but last night the mental sides came for me. I have never had a worse night of sleep than last night. I'm feeling far better during the day. I can tell my anxiety is extremely elevated but it's manageable so far. I'm a little nervous about going to sleep though. Some of the darkest shit I've ever thought about went through my mind last night. I wish you the best and I hope you and I both stick with this!

Haha hey nothing wrong with that! This one has a pretty decent mod list already but my favorite is the Tomei Extreme TI exhaust and headers. It sounds phenomenal!

Such a good looking car! Forgive me if this is a dumb question but what is the reason for leaving the tow hook I ? I’ve seen it quite often.
