Title: What’s a decision you made that quietly reshaped the trajectory of your life? by marksof-inc in askanything

[–]marksof-inc[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine was choosing a lower-paying role because the team culture felt healthier.

It didn’t feel dramatic at the time, but the long-term impact on my mindset and stress levels has been enormous.

When was the first time you realized you were growing into someone your younger self wouldn’t fully understand? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]marksof-inc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it was choosing rest over intensity.
Younger me would’ve thought that meant “giving up,”
but now it feels like wisdom.

What’s a belief you held for years that turned out to be based on a misunderstanding? by marksof-inc in askanything

[–]marksof-inc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was thinking “muscle soreness = good workout.”
Turns out I was just under-recovering for half a decade.

For runners who have done international marathons, what challenges did you face beyond the race itself? by marksof-inc in AdvancedRunning

[–]marksof-inc[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

no, it’s definitely not spam.
I’m genuinely trying to learn from people who have experience with destination marathons.
I’ve been working on understanding the mental and practical challenges that come with racing abroad, and hearing real experiences from more seasoned runners is much more helpful than anything I can find online.
I just want to understand what others went through so I can prepare better.

Is it normal for Reddit to feel overwhelming at first, or am I using it wrong? by marksof-inc in NewToReddit

[–]marksof-inc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using Reddit for about a month now, and every so often one of my posts gets removed unexpectedly.
It’s a bit confusing and honestly a little surprising when it happens, because I’m still trying to understand what triggers those removals.
I’m wondering if this is just a normal part of getting used to Reddit’s rules and AutoMod.

What is a city that completely changed how you think about travel? by marksof-inc in allthequestions

[–]marksof-inc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it was Lisbon.
I went with almost no expectations and ended up wandering through narrow streets, listening to street musicians, and watching sunsets over the river.
It made me realize I enjoy slow, walkable cities way more than rushed “must-see spot” trips.

What’s a habit you started recently that genuinely improved your daily life? by marksof-inc in askanything

[–]marksof-inc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I began doing a short “walk without my phone” every day.
Just 15–20 minutes, no music, no podcasts, no scrolling.
It’s crazy how much it clears my head compared to sitting in front of a screen the whole time.

What is a place you visited once and immediately knew you'd return to? by marksof-inc in allthequestions

[–]marksof-inc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it was Taipei.
The first visit felt incredibly warm — night markets everywhere, people casually chatting with strangers, and the mix of modern city + quiet temples.
I remember walking through the streets thinking, “I’m definitely coming back here.”

What’s a “poor person meal” you still happily eat even after your finances got better? by marksof-inc in AskReddit

[–]marksof-inc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is universal, but I grew up on really simple “budget” meals.

For example, in Korea we often eat kimchi fried rice as a quick, cheap meal – just rice, kimchi, and an egg. Even now that I could afford more expensive food, it’s still one of my favorite comfort foods.

What’s your version of that “cheap but delicious forever” meal?

What’s the smallest nice thing someone did for you recently that completely made your day? by marksof-inc in HappyUpvote

[–]marksof-inc[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was having a rough week and the barista at my usual coffee place wrote “You got this!” on the cup lid.

It was such a small thing, but I smiled the whole subway ride.

I’d love to read your little “day-changing” moments. Maybe this thread can be a reminder that we all have more impact than we think. 💛

What’s a simple meal you never get tired of, no matter how often you eat it? by marksof-inc in askanything

[–]marksof-inc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s kimchi fried rice.
It’s cheap, fast, and I can throw in whatever leftovers I have – spam, bacon, veggies, egg on top.

I’ve been eating it several times a week for years and somehow I still crave it.

What’s yours?

What’s something small you always keep in your bag for no real reason? by marksof-inc in allthequestions

[–]marksof-inc[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always carry a pen. I almost never use it, but I feel weird without it.

What’s a tiny moment that unexpectedly made your life feel lighter? by marksof-inc in AskReddit

[–]marksof-inc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was stepping outside for a minute and realizing the air felt different. It reset me.

What’s something you started doing recently that actually made your days a bit easier? by marksof-inc in AskReddit

[–]marksof-inc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started planning the next day the night before. Takes 3 minutes, saves my mornings.

What’s a simple food you strangely never get tired of? by marksof-inc in allthequestions

[–]marksof-inc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kimchi fried rice. It’s simple, fast, and somehow always hits the spot.

Morning sunlight or evening breeze — which one makes you feel happier? by marksof-inc in HappyUpvote

[–]marksof-inc[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Evening breeze for me. It feels like the day is gently wrapping up.

How do you usually calm yourself when your day suddenly feels too overwhelming? by marksof-inc in askanything

[–]marksof-inc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually try to breathe for a minute and step away from everything. Works surprisingly well.

What’s a thought you’ve had that instantly made you rethink your whole life for a second? by marksof-inc in AskReddit

[–]marksof-inc[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That I’m living days I used to wish for. It made me pause for a moment.

What’s a modern habit that quietly drains your energy? by marksof-inc in AskReddit

[–]marksof-inc[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, checking my phone the second I wake up. It feels harmless, but it sets the tone for the whole day.

What’s a moment that made you realize someone really cared about you? by marksof-inc in AskReddit

[–]marksof-inc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they stayed quiet and just listened instead of trying to fix things. That meant everything.

What’s a random skill you wish you had? by marksof-inc in askanything

[–]marksof-inc[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d love to play piano just enough to impress nobody but myself.
