Untangled At Last (uncensored mini series + writings)

A metaphorical posture correction expedition visual. I definitely consider this whole journey a sort of "untanglement" of my own muscles/limbs/bodyparts and the uncovering of their own healthy engagement patterns in an orderly fashion. Like untangling a string, you start at the ends and untangle it from itself one careful and complete step at a time.

Just like the string felt secure in its balled up state, I also felt pretty secure in my terrible posture, save the nerve pain in my low back from squished discs that forced me to begin my journey in the first place. Once I started to untangle myself, existence actually became a shitload harder, as I moved away from the familiar bad posture and began training for and occupying unfamiliar, uncomfortable, new postures. Sort of like wearing a jacket with one side all twisted up but trying to pretend it's not super uncomfortable and just going with it and not taking it off because this is actually the right way to be and you just gotta get used to it.

I'm still very much getting used to it and am buckling up for an uncomfortable existence for the next several amounts of time (months or maybe years). I have accepted my fate and will continue documenting my experience in these cathartic ways!

Pain breaks rhythm.
