flamingsword“My resolution this year [2025] is that I’m going to play more. The goal is to do or say one goofy or silly or flirty or ridiculous thing every day. Play is good for the brain and helps our nervous system experience safety.”
I may not have done or said playful things *every* day, but I have done them enough that I no longer feel as awkward trying to have fun with folks. So that’s kinda cool. I don’t know that I experienced safety in general but I definitely experienced safety with the double handful of people with whom I was allowed to be silly and they would be silly in return.
I miss my meatspace people. So many of my japes and silliness are physical, and I’m only just now realizing how tactile I am in my play, nose boops, scratching at doors like a cat instead of knocking, tugging at the elbows of people’s clothes, etc..
