Headspace notes: reading Man’s Search for Meaning with great admiration/appreciation for a human’s ability to suffer and endure, although I recognize how the extent of this particular brand of involuntary suffering permanently scars a person (and wondering, at what point does voluntary suffering become too expensive?); shifting primary exercise to morning to allow for a more relaxed evening, which is very nice; and work is pretty demanding at the moment, which is not so nice (nonetheless, extremely manageable).
