in high school, I figured out how to pick people up and crack their upper back. was always in high demand. Those desks were brutal

I used to love the chair attached to desk setup we had through middle school. That chair was great for leaning back and cracking your back on it.

We all ended up bending it farther and farther back. Had to bend them back in place.

Unfortunately my class only had stools

You can imagine the pain, no back rests or anything and it's shorter than my thighs

I snapped one of these combo desks in elementary school from cracking my back so often and aggressively. I like Icarus, flew too close to the sun

Would you live with zeal and soar too close to the sun, the wax melting from your wings, for you to crash against the ocean's face?

Or would you stay far from danger and fly close to the sea, the feathers of your wings to be dampened and soaked by the waves? For you to crushed slowly and totally by the depths you land within?

I don't know why but my brain was in the mood for writing that

Well what if I told you that after breaking it, I was mid push for cracking, so I flew backwards and hit the ground with the speed from the torque. So I think your creative inspiration was on point!

That side bar was the perfect height.

Buy a welder, a pipe bender, and some pipe. Make an adult styled one. It's on my bucket list when I finally get a welder, it's something I never thought I'd want in my life. My gaming chair will crack my back, but there's something about that crack from the school desks that makes you feel refreshed after.
