I ended up going very low contact with my arch-conservative family. Parents, sister and brother are all very right wing and loud about it. I haven’t spoken with my siblings in over a decade and speak to my parents about twice a year.
It has made my life calmer and more peaceful.
I have Withings Scanwatch Horizon. I love the look and the battery life. I average 22 days between recharging. Steps are reasonably accurate, it measures a bit on the low side but this means I do another few hundred steps occasionally to meet my goal. The app is pretty good. I use it to track walks and gym sessions mainly.
I have been driving for 41 years and I love it. I enjoy my morning commute, my drive home in the evening and getting out on weekends and holidays in the car or on my motorcycle.
It feels cathartic and meditative.
None of my family feel the same way and don’t understand why I love it so much. I can’t explain it to people who don’t get it. I’ve tried several times over the years and have just come to accept that it’s my thing.
Every now and then you come across someone else who gets it, and you barely need to speak about it. The only other thing that makes me feel the same way is long distance target shooting.
Oh god, don’t tease me like that. The endless possibilities I could imagine in 2010…
I do too, as well as Dutch, Australian and New Zealand
