    Get a dog. It makes this so much more enjoyable. Sharing it with a little ball of excitement.

        My neighbor used to walk his cat on a leash to stay active in both of their old age. It used to be cute to watch the snow white cat just walking around with his harness, having the time of his life.

        Cats shouldn’t be left to roam free outdoors.

      I got a girlfriend who has a dog, so mission accomplished in a roundabout way

      This kind of happened to me. My wife always walked the dogs but she started a new job so I took over. My mental health has been so much better it’s crazy. And I sleep through the night now too.

    I’m just a grumpy person lol. I’m grumpier without my walk so if I’m gonna be grumpy anyways, at least my physical health is a bonus.

    I really should start doing this but everytime I go to I think about how there’s so much TV and Internet I have not experienced and then I get distracted and forget about outside and its asshole NPCs.

        Why does my being have to be well though? Can’t I be fine and also a decrepit horrible miserable bitch at the same time? Why does life have to be so haaaaaaaaard.

          Get a mixed breed dog that you think is a lazy lapdog that is actually a highly energetic terrier. That was my motivation to start walking. Less things destroyed 😩

            If I could afford it I would love to. I feel sort of incomplete without a dog. Had one for so much of my life. But it’s not remotely something I could afford at the moment. My roommate has a cat and that thing is bad enough. Unfortunately that cat also is very independant. I love her but I don’t think the feeling is mutual lol

      God I wish I felt like that. I’m more like desperately trying to find anything on the internet or on TV that is actually fun and interesting anymore.

      Would love to have that feeling of excitement again. I remember being really excited about new computer games growing up… Every game was so fun to play.

      Honestly, how much TV can someone watch before it’s just a blur of all same same but different movies, series and whatnot?

      Everyone is different though, for example I can’t for the life of me watch any series to completion. Sometimes not even the first episode. But I can lose hours trawling through all I can find on Sphagnum moss.

    It doesn’t help that it’s one of those thing where you don’t notice it working, if it works at all
