When a musician says their guitar is ‘opening up’, what they’re referring to is the cellular structure of the guitar’s wood undergoing subtle changes over time allowing the guitar to vibrate more freely, creating a richer, more complex sound.

- 为什么单偶制令人沮丧（失败）？

单偶制假设了一个人会满足所有需求 - physical, emotional, psychological, affectionate, financial, romantic, sexual, and spiritual。有了这个人之后你不会被别的人吸引。这明显是不现实的。

所以会有外遇与不满。

- 单偶制是 by default

not by choice，并不是深思熟虑做出的选择。

- 单偶制遇到了别的吸引对象

以下三种情况：
否认自己的愿望；cheat，谎言...;与当前伴侣分手，进入单偶制的又一个 cycle

- open-relationship 无指南和公式

没有人告诉你应当怎么做，适用于别人的脚本不一定适合你。需要你自己持续的定义、设置，甚至改变边界（boundary）

- 令人惊讶的是

非单偶制里的人可能更诚实

Well, that wasn't as bad I told myself it was going to be.

I've been away from regular yoga practice for over 7 years, and prior to that I did Bikram yoga---all while I was grossly overweight; 80 pounds overweight..

I'm now with in 15 pounds of what "they" the experts say I should be. However, I have a lot of issues with my shoulders--one's had surgery.

So, anyway, I have done the poses I can for the last few days and today was the best it felt in that time.

I cannot do too many kneeling poses, and sitting with legs open is far from "open," but I am aiming to keep it up.

I actually did good with tree pose, meaning I didn't fall over.

Namaste, everyone!
