Damn I just did 'swim squad' (?) for the first time and it fucking slapped. I got seriously lapped by people 40 years older than me who were also kinda rude and judgy, but that just made me swim faster and do more swimming than I have done in my entire life
I used to be so embarrassed of working out with strangers but now I love it. Today was my 300th time at my gym and the teacher told the class and some of them congratulated me after :):)
go to events even if u think they’ll be iffy - better to have some memories of living life than none, go to library, go sit on the nearest grass
also u can’t expect good arts and culture if u don’t support the bad/amateur stuff as well 🦀
