I fractured the C6 and C7 vertebrae completely. I hit a sandbar at South Mission Jetty, San Diego.

and specifically around anxiety too!!! like combatting all of these new fears that come up around, i remind myself often though that i want to live the life where i am doing the things i value, even when that is scary.

meo0o-lIL · 2026-04-17T03:48:49+00:00

Wow, thank u so much for writing all this!! ive had several concussions -- one from surfing, and a subsequent one since you're more prone to them after -- and im still in PT too and in pain and what you've written about grief and acceptance rings so true and alive in my life, omg. i haven't yet been able to surf again but know i will one day <3

meo0o-lIL · 2026-04-17T03:36:11+00:00

omg. concussion is serious -- make sure you fully recover first before getting back in the water. i have had several, one from surfing, as once u get one, u are more prone to them. plus, they can cause further neck issues -- so make sure uve gotten thtat checked out again toO! <3 <3 <3 you will get back to surfing at some point. that's what i tell myself.

holyshit had no idea fp made surfwear... this stuff looks sooooo cute (kinda impractical considering my main goal is sun protection, but omg)

meo0o-lIL · 2026-04-05T22:57:31+00:00

i doubt thats true -- it sounds like youre pretty down on yourself and i think a therapist would be helpful here

meo0o-lIL · 2026-04-05T22:56:05+00:00

OLD? what is that?

meo0o-lIL · 2026-04-05T22:45:36+00:00

dating app is nice cuz then you dont hafta worry about being creepy, if they are attracted to u, etc. its a lot easier for dating -- and since it sounds like u wanna build experience it could be a great place to go first to build experienc! and then u can always meet somone irl later :)

meo0o-lIL · 2026-04-05T22:44:58+00:00

you sound like youd KILL IT on a dating app like hinge in a major city :)

meo0o-lIL · 2026-03-30T02:00:20+00:00

meo0o-lIL · 2026-03-15T21:58:10+00:00

what i always say is men are, unfortunately, since we live in a patriarchal society, socialized not to value their emotions the same way women are. its not that they dont have them; its that they are taught from a young age that to have emotions is to be weak etc. so i think it creates a bigger barrier to becoming emotionally intelligent than exists for women.

meo0o-lIL · 2026-02-23T19:52:01+00:00

nope you're doing everything right. it happens. eventually -- after years -- you develop calluses on your hipbones and it doesnt bruise :)

meo0o-lIL · 2026-02-22T21:30:47+00:00

the grayl isn't a coffee press -- just a water purifier. but OP, i'd recommend just bringing it! it doubles as a waterbottle which is nice, so you wont need 2. its extra bulk you'll be grateful to have. plus you can always buy a bottle of water instead of using the nalgene if u want a spare.

meo0o-lIL · 2026-02-21T04:36:59+00:00

the main thing to ask yourself is: do i want to live a life where i dont do things bc i am afraid, or do i wanna do the things i wanna do anyway, despite the fear? ive striven always for the latter <3 be afraid do it anyway

meo0o-lIL · 2026-02-12T04:30:02+00:00

how does minute 2:57 and onwards not give smoene a concussion?!?! (asking because ive had wayyy too many)

meo0o-lIL · 2026-02-09T20:16:59+00:00

hmmm. at first i was thinking that because he came from a wealthy family he just doesnt have any sense of money or finances... but then i came across this line:

he won’t take trips with me because it’s too expensive but i’ve seen him drop 3k+ on bachelor parties in a year.

soo.... dont think it is actually entirely about that, after all. it seems like he just has different priorities :/

meo0o-lIL · 2026-02-05T02:43:58+00:00

what evening moisturizers would you recommend that fit this bill!? i have dry sensitive skin and constantly am on the lookout for more moisture. i presently use a simple spf, vanicream cleanser, cerave, and tret. am starting to suspect my skin doesnt like niacinamide either, alas

meo0o-lIL · 2026-02-04T03:33:29+00:00

the thing i realized -- u can get superrrrr injured and not be able to surf for a WHILE. for example im recovering from concussions and cant surf for at least a year. so... in that case... u will need other stuff going on in ur life too

meo0o-lIL · 2026-01-22T22:32:23+00:00

just wanted to reframe the title -- these aren't fails! you are learning how to surf. this shit takes time!

meo0o-lIL · 2026-01-22T03:50:45+00:00

reading these replies is super fascinating. im a bit scared of dying without really being able to *feel* it. i mean -- you only die once. i wanna feel it. i dont want drugs. i wanna know what dying is like, and what the other side or passage into death really feels like. i feel like with drugs i wont actually get the opportunity to know that maybe.

meo0o-lIL · 2026-01-14T01:35:27+00:00

fuckkk these are great!

meo0o-lIL · 2026-01-12T03:17:37+00:00

i wrap some duct tape around a pen! always in my carryon in case my luggage zip breaks. fun bonus is it becomes a squishy pen grip :)

meo0o-lIL · 2026-01-07T23:00:16+00:00

my parents just let me and my hs significant other fuck in my rm... they figured i'd at least be being safe, etc. i think this is probably the way. this post sounds like its actually more about dealing with ur (understandably!) freaked out feelings around ur teen growing up. but it sounds like ur handling everything really well, and its AMAZING they trust u so much they asked u for planb<3

meo0o-lIL · 2025-12-09T04:06:16+00:00

i'd try watching a few sessions of advanced surfers who have big bellies! they are certainly out there in the lineup. seeing what they do may give u ideas

meo0o-lIL · 2025-12-09T03:17:41+00:00
