My name is Kirsten, I live in Australia and I'm 27 years old.
My blog is like 80% kpop goodness and 20% things that made me chuckle.
I'm not super active currently but I stop by from time to time 😊
What people don’t understand about “no excess physical activity/exercise” is that everything is physical activity.
I told the people at orthopedic urgent care that I can’t do physical therapy because my condition doesn’t allow for exercise. They gave me a list of things I could do at home. They were exercises. I was frustrated at first, but it made me realize how able bodied people can’t conceptualize “no exercise” at all.
Walking down two hallways to get to my college class is exercise. Cooking and baking are exercise. Getting something from downstairs is exercise. Even typing is exercise. Each one of those things chips away at my ability to do simple things, like sit upright or speak or even just stay awake. When someone says they can’t exercise for medical reasons, that means they can’t, and pushing them to do physical activity because it “doesn’t take that much energy” is dangerous. Everything takes energy.
really should have known I was a bird person more than a cat or dog person. my dad has called me either bird or birdy for 20+ years, and it took until I was 25 to work it out…also never saw myself having a cat or dog of my own and then once my grandparents rescued a budgie (now mine) from a nasty storm, I collected a 2nd budgie and a cockatiel over the next 1.5yrs. and now I don’t think I’ll ever not have a bird.
