IM A PERSON OF EXTREMES.
I ALWAYS FIND MY SELF PUSHING MY BODY TO THE LIMIT.
FOR INSTANCE, I HAVEN’T SLEPT IN 2 DAYS, HARDLY EATEN
AND HAVE BEEN WORKING NOT STOP. THATS JUST THE WAY
I AM. I GET IN THESE MOODS WHERE I JUST WANT TO CREATE
OR JUST FEEL AS MUCH AS I CAN. SO I PUSH MYSELF TO
EXTREMES TO DO SO.

WHEN I FIRST MOVED IN TO BOXEIGHT, I SLEPT ON A YOGA MAT
FOR 2 WEEKS STRAIGHT ON THE CEMENT FLOOR WITH NO BLANKET
OR PILLOW. I COULD HAVE EASILY GOTTEN A PILLOW OR A BLANKET
OR A FUTON FOR THAT MATTER BUT AT THAT POINT IN MY LIFE, IT’S
JUST WHAT FELT RIGHT TO ME AND I WANTED TO SEE HOW LONG I
COULD LAST. I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT ON EARTH I WAS PROVING TO
MYSELF BUT IT FELT GOOD. IF NOTHING ELSE. SLEEPING SUCKED
DURING THOSE TWO WEEKS AND SO I WENT TO BED LATE AND
ALWAYS GOT UP AT SUNRISE BECAUSE I WAS NEVER COMFORTABLE.

I REALIZED IT WAS ALL THE WORK AND PRODUCTIVITY I WAS GETTING
DONE IN THESE COUPLE WEEKS THAT KEPT ME GOING BECAUSE I
NEVER SLEPT AND I HAD NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT WORK.

I GUESS I GET OFF ON PUSHING MY SELF TO NEW LIMITS. THESE
LIMITS MAY BE A LITTLE ODD AND HAVE NO PURPOSE TO THEM AT
FIRST GLANCE BUT IN THE END I USUALLY REALIZE SOMETHING I
NEVER REALLY EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT BEFORE….

IT TAKES OUTER-BODY EXPERIENCES SOMETIMES AND A COUPLE
SACRIFICES TO SEE THINGS IN A NEW LIGHT.

WE TEND TO GET TO COMFORTABLE IN OUR ROUTINES.
FUCK YOURS UP A BIT AND I BET YOU’D NOTICE A GOOD CHANGE
IN YOUR LIFE.
