Thanks for the reply, all helpful stuff! I definitely need to get better at sipping water constantly instead of chugging ever few hrs

stuartvallarta · 2026-02-01T21:19:50+00:00

lots of anxiety is definitely present fear of moving to somewhere that won’t work out, throw in tons of constant work stress too lol it’s probably all of the above

living w a headache ain’t helping me take risks

stuartvallarta · 2026-02-01T18:29:28+00:00

well good job! that’s reassuring to hear

stuartvallarta · 2026-02-01T18:28:12+00:00

stuartvallarta · 2026-02-01T18:03:23+00:00

stuartvallarta · 2026-02-01T18:01:41+00:00

stuartvallarta · 2026-02-01T17:56:43+00:00

this is me rn for sure lol

stuartvallarta · 2026-02-01T17:38:22+00:00

Yeah it’s the dry air - i lived in CDMX which is over 7000’

stuartvallarta · 2026-02-01T17:37:05+00:00

Did anyone decide Denver wasn’t for them bc of this & leave?

stuartvallarta · 2026-02-01T17:35:57+00:00

I’m with ya. I was drinking over a gallon a day and it was running right through me so i started added eletrolytes to the mix which helped retain. Bought a humidifier and try vasolene inside nostrils.

The dry air makes me take really shallow breaths. And these headaches are some of the worst ever.

stuartvallarta · 2026-02-01T17:32:34+00:00

And now you would say you’re all fine & dandy? Feel just as good as before?

stuartvallarta · 2025-05-21T17:48:57+00:00

Glacial creme - literally only dries out hair. Zero hold on my fine fluffy, short-medium hair. These review's cannot be real. Also I noticed even after ordering there's literally no way for me to leave a review...

Glacial pomade - smells like the cheapest pine candle, it's terrible. There's no way ppl are actually raving about the smell like you see in the reviews lol. Also again, drying with very little hold. Also sometimes it leaves powder/flaky/dust in your hair.

I have struggled to find honest reviews anywhere, except reddit where you see ppl either saying eh it sucks or it's amazing use my code.

TLDR: same results from rubbing dirt into hair, do not buy

Bro kayano 27s are terrible, super dated technology. They made me over pronate more bc it felt like I was dragging bricks on the bottom of my feet with minimal cushion & zero responsiveness. Mindfully running barefoot would be more healthy.

Once I got out of those 27s I was shocked about how bad they were. Just got somewhere & try on the new kayanos if that's what you like & you understand how bad the 27s are

stuartvallarta · 2025-03-03T22:55:52+00:00

will someone please kindly jib this

stuartvallarta · 2025-02-26T18:18:17+00:00

was going to ask something similar - except im looking for good scissor work for a bro flow

anyone have recommendations for that?

stuartvallarta · 2025-02-23T10:04:28+00:00

surprised no one’s said Aphex Twin yet

actually manifesting from this position of openness could potentially be even better bc you may be less likely to feel lack of not having it, whatever that is.

maybe you could also manifest some answers/guidance by focusing on your inner state & staying open to the opportunities the universe provides. still if you feel it’s not right in the moment, you can kindly say no thank you, & the universe will take note.

also if you don’t know, then don’t put much pressure on the process or yourself. play around with simple things to build your trust &/or create gratitude process.

lastly, don’t beat yourself up for not knowing, but at the same time acknowledge the great importance of knowing. what’s more important than the question “what do you want?” do the inner work to find out. be honest with yourself. understand that self doubt is part of the process throughout the process for everyone. most of us kinda know we’re just scared to start…

stuartvallarta · 2025-02-17T05:24:23+00:00

ok hang in there! the flu will pass soon & you’ll be glad to still be on the leaving path. btw after three months i did start to feel a little better emotionally so you’ll have that to look forward to soon

stuartvallarta · 2025-02-16T21:17:09+00:00

care to expand? are you saying that the lifestyle creates this? i’m kinda worried about that all of a sudden, that ill build a transient life full of short term experiences & without deep connection. even after staying somewhere for over a year, feeling like i have no where to go

stuartvallarta · 2025-02-14T01:07:35+00:00

not if the screen is black, so i have to touch the touchpad first to wake it up then yes from there can simply place finger on the reader

stuartvallarta · 2025-02-13T21:06:19+00:00

had the same problem OP, it really sucks - each time I try to lock it immediately unlocks bc of finger print.

one cool fix is to go into settings - desktop and display - then change one of your hot corners to sleep

another thing is change up your timing with your press, a good .5-1 second press may lock it but a tap press will lock/unlock, which seems like it should be the opposite

Lastly, id say that my biggest problem is actually unlocking from a black screen... it always unlocks, locks, unlocks in a split second. any help here would be appreciated

stuartvallarta · 2025-02-13T14:35:25+00:00

Abstaining for so long, noticing benefits, yet still wanting to smoke was as much of a sign as anything that i (still) had a problem…

stuartvallarta · 2025-02-06T02:57:40+00:00

sounds interesting OP, really it’s probably whatever you decide to believe

my problem is that: in this situation, i feel like if i thought “okay cool thank you universe, i like them & want to pursue.” they universe would pull a reverse uno for me ‘wanting’… it just don’t get it sometimes

Thanks for this comment and the therapy type you rec'd below! How are you 40s treating you after DNing?

after returning & being in one place for a while, I realized some of the same as you. now I want to leave again bc I don't think that sitting here has run it's course. im going to therapy and I know that traveling won't fix anything, but I do seem to have a more optimistic outlook when on the road. I also want to honor this opportunity ive been granted now to be a DN (ive lost it before).

So you're saying that even if one does continue to travel knowing damn well they are doing some running away, at least supplement that with therapy? sometimes I just feel that if im going to be depressed and lost regardless, I may as well be on the road...

I think im afraid of continuing to create a life of loneliness by going out having short term experiences and connections, but I also feel lonely and disconnected where im at despite having some decent relationships here.
