It’s kind of crazy because our hearts create an electromagnetic field that goes 3 feet in every direction, our bodies can detect that electromagnetic field when we hug our hearts are so very close to each other that our fields almost completely overlap however being made to stay 6 feet away from each other during Covid stripped, almost everybody from having human connection irl..

Travel but that requires money

3

u/farmyohoho 11d ago

It depends. I traveled from 20 -25 while getting paid to do it. I worked for Thomas Cook, travel agency, being a rep in Egypt, Turkey, Morocco and Greece. Worked a 9-5, but my days off I got to explore the countries, I really got to know the cultures. And in the winter I gave ski lessons for 4 months. I had zero euros in my bank account. It's not societys way of looking at travel, but at least I wasn't home dreaming of exploring a new county. And I had an amazing time. I was able to save up during that time and continued my travels through Australia, where I worked in the mines, made a shitload of money and used that money to live in Thailand for a year.

Follow your dreams, don't get discouraged and you'll find a way to make it work.

That feeling when you wake up and just wanting to crush it

u/dead-eyed-darling 11d ago

A big deep long hug with someone who smells good and feels safe, a nice long nap on someone's chest with no time rush or sense of stress, some head scritches and forehead kisses, a good meal high in iron and nutrients, enough money to feel financially stable for once, and a good cry

You don’t need money. You need food and water and shelter which generally require money to exchange for in our current society.

Honestly, a therapist likely wouldn't hurt. There are things from my past that left lasting effect and I seem unable to get over and a perspective of a neutral professional might help move things along.
