It's been stiff. And painful when I stretched it.
Today I really went crazy with stretching. I've been doing what you might call "high yoga". Laying sitting and standing in every position I can imagine looking for the stiffness and working it out.
I don't need to video it to know that if you saw me doing this sans explanation you' consider me weird as fuck. I have contorted myself into all kinds of strange positions and then done various gyrations and repetitions, trying to push through every stiffness from every angle.
I gotta do it. But why do I have to do it in private? Can't I give myself physical therapy in Washington Square?
I am so self-censoring in words and actions. I haven't done what I will do eventually because I am still introducing myself to you.
Philosophically: why should I be shy about doing something harmless that looks weird when I need to do it? Why should you?
