    The world exists and you are in it, but what is existence? Your physical presence or the memories and thoughts you have?
    Stop that right this minute. 😁💕

    P.S. I don't get hyper when I've had a lot of coffee, I apparently get philosophical. :lol:

    Ever tried to imagine nothing? Not your own non-existence, not the world’s non-existence, not really even the non-existence of the universe but actual nothingness? It’s trippy and I think impossible

    idk. i figure it's the same nothingness that existed before i was born. i wasn't aware of anything then at least. and i figure it'll be the same way when i die too. just the blank void. forever.

    Yet my husband insists that men have a "nothing box" where they go when they want to escape and that they can, in fact, think of "nothing". How, I have no clue.

    I fear we may be getting into the realms of Lovecraftian horror if we continue on this trail of thought. :lol:

    Speaking as and for one male, I do not have that box.

    Both of you are incorrect.

    Cardio, no problem.
    Weight training, no problem.
    Dieting, problem.

    Nope

    Cardio is still a problem.

    When it comes to dieting, we live in a land of abundance & my will power is a diminishing asset.

    I dunno.. i like taking the Trek out for a ride or some HIIT cardio in the morning. Weight training in the gym still feels awesome. It's the nutritional part that I keep slipping up with.

    I hear ya'.

    I used to live for cardio, just not anymore.

    And yeah, I have a Trek & a Cannondale & a Giant & a GT - all up on hooks.

    Running? I'm retired from the sport..... unless I'm being chased by an angry boyfriend.

    My ex husband does not have that.
    Too bad he doesn’t, maybe he could shut it all off but when you own your own small business there is never a time that his brain stops trying to work things out.

    But things exist without my existence though I’m not conscious of it.

    As for the void. Imagine it doesn’t exist either. It’s impossible
