    In the path to transcendent reality, Buddhism talks about the “Middle Way”, where you should still take care of your bodily needs, but not indulge in excess. A popular Zen saying goes “Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.” This indicates that life is still very much the same after one is enlightened, and one must still do work.

    On the path to enlightenment, please continue to take care of yourself.

    I often have music or a video on to complete most tasks. It’s nice to have a bit of entertainment. I feel primarily motivated by getting out and being in a place where I feel ready to work. Memories are sort of hazy before about 16.

    As for relating with others, I usually bond over common interests, I guess? I prefer to talk about things that feel substantive and interesting, but I spend a lot of time alone by choice. I generally appreciate practical solutions or support for problems I’m having.

    Pretty sure I qualify? I’ve had some people suspect autism, but I’ve never needed support. I dealt with OCD at one point, but responded very well to medication.

    How do I think about what things? I’d probably need some more specifics, to be honest.
