life is hard
hard can be fun
life is fun
a modern mind needs context, it needs others
what helps you feel aliveness?
laughter is the easiest way to let go of seriousness.

seriousness can lead to tension.

tension leads to suffering.

if you can learn to laugh at anything, then it's very hard to suffer.
It's so crazy that we tie ourselves up into knots

Stay open

gf and I are doing Scuba open water certification part 2 this weekend. one thing i love about PADI is it’s a very supportive and safety first program, in contrast to so much of the shark-like attitude promulgated in my social media experience.

The vibe is that almost anyone can learn this (29M people already certified), and if you’re not feeling safe slow down, or stop and cancel the dive. We do as much as the least comfortable person can handle, and we repeat tests as many times as necessary for the student to get it right. It feels like military skill coursework but friendly not competitive or Spartan.
