I used to run into traffic when I was a kid, so my mom put me on a leash.

Still never been hit by a car, so overall I think it was a good call. I don’t feel degraded by it.

I’ve always called these ‘pashminas’ too, it’s like an extra large & sturdy scarf worn like a cloak

I cannot recommend basic yoga enough for wonky balance.

I have terrible proprioception, i run into corners and bump my shoulders constantly (even though im a smallish person and it makes no sense). Yoga made it easier to close my eyes in the shower, catch my balance, not sprain my joints, so much within a few months from like, 20 min twice a week. Free youtube videos. I’ve saved myself from serious injury more than once.
