The Israel/Gaza Situation Has Me Broken

Ignore if you hate this topic. I avoid social media, and I'd rather rant here than the hellhole that is Twitter

Already on Step 4

Check this out if you have zero clue what I'm talking about haha.
Did bodyweight squats in front of my physical therapist, and they were good!! Super smooth, great range of motion, and zero tightness for the first few sets. This puts me on step 4 out of 5.

Plan to Cross the Finish Line

Gameplan my physical therapist and I made to overcome my joint issues once and for all. I'd say I'm 90% there, so here is the plan for the last 10%. Primary remaining issue is the left hip weakness causing me to shift much of my weight onto the right hip, which also causes my entire trunk/upper body to twist to compensate for the lean. This messes up my shoulder blade movement as well, leading to

Can Almost See the Light at the End of the Tunnel

After almost a full decade of pain affecting my waking hours, sleep, ability to exercise, and ability to just have fun, I'm almost done!!!!
I define me being done as: Being able to exercise, sleep, stand, sit, lie down, and walk with no pain, instability, or unevenness. It's hard to put a number on a goal like this, but I'd say I'm 85% there.

Almost Done Beating Genetics

Ughhhhhh why can't I be 100% done, though
Alright, so despite basically every joint having issues at first, I can minimize the major starting issues to:
- Right hip tear + instability
- Left hip tear + instability
- Left shoulder instability
- Right shoulder instability
The two bolded ones were the biggest issues. As of now, I have:

2020 Is the Best Time to be Alive · 5:34am Jul 29th, 2020

I said the same during January, and despite everything that happened this year, I still maintain this.

All the benefits of the modern world and why it rocks:

- Remote work. You can work from home in a cheap town while getting paid like you're in a big city.

- Online business. You can build something online while being free to live wherever you want in real life. Live in Thailand for a few months, then move to Peru, then move to the Caribbean.

- Actual racism is lower than ever in the U.S. I lived as a POC with a foreign name in a small, redneck town in rural Ohio and had zero issues. I simply couldn't do that even 30 years ago.

- Actual sexism is lower than ever in the U.S. My fiancee is free to pursue her career, start a business, lift weights, and train MMA, and be a kickass wife. Imagine a girl trying to do all that just 30 years ago.

- Tinder and online dating. You can go to a foreign city, get dozens of matches, and go on a date all in the same day.

- The goddamn internet. You can learn anything you want for free. All the knowledge from all of human history, right at your fingertips.

- Modern medicine. Imagine the coronavirus happening just 100 years ago. It would've 100x worse.

I refuse to let the world take away my optimism. 2020 rocks.
