  • Exactly. If you’re doing physical activities for my health reasons, as I am, then it’s the activity itself that gives the value and not chasing PBs.

    That said all my life and hobbies have been for the intrinsic value of them rather than to show off to friends or with some end goal in mind. Like it tried to learn Spanish for over a year for no reason other than it was a cool thing to try, then when I drop it it didn’t matter as the goal wasn’t to learn Spanish it was to exercise my curiosity.


  • Thanks.

    I guess everybody is different. I’m a natural introvert that excels at extroversion due to my past. So for me it wasn’t the social thing and in fact I had a hard time getting my friends to climb so had to find a climbing group.

    What hooked me about climbing is that it’s a rare sport where I lose myself and my mind goes quite. Like nothing other than guitar practice makes my mind shut up so once I found that I was hooked.


  • I believe it’s a combination of factors really.

    Use it or lose it, the body doesn’t waste energy so if you don’t do physical activities then the body doesn’t see the point in making you more energetic but when you do exercise the body is like we need to prep in case this happens again.

    Then you have the brain chemicals like endorphins which boost mood and can give you a boost of energy.

    There is a line though, which I noticed with my running, that if I kept pushing for faster and faster times I was tired so much due to fatigue. I now run for the intrinsic value of running, I don’t care to get faster and just run for the fun of it and I’m just full of beans now lol





  • Salvia is a trip man. I remember doing it once and it felt like the room I was in flipped 90 degrees and I was holding the arm out the couch like my life depended on it.

    Taken a lot of drugs but only take ADHD meds now and the occasional spliff. Been hooked on coke and it’s just meh now. Been hooked on Xanax and nearly died but still miss them.

    Ketamine is mid. Would love to try heroin if it wouldn’t ruin my life.

    Mollie was amazing back in the day but couldn’t handle the come down now.
