Hell yeah I’m good at yoga. I’ve been working on this crazy pose called NotRoundingMySacrumInForwardFolds and it’s been working pretty well for me.

Part of this slump involved always worrying about what’s next, something that I admittedly still do just about every day. I think I share this problem with a lot of people my age.
