What’s This All About?
I suffer from severe depression and general anxiety. I also studied Latin for three years in high school and learned entirely too many quotations in a dead language. In an attempt to pull myself out of my current depressive pit, I’ve turned to this dead language to getting some life back into my life. I will try to embody the quote:
Translated into English, this is "a sound mind in a sound body" or "a healthy mind in a healthy body." I have been lax in recent years about maintaining my physical health, and have also been lax about keeping up with the books in my to-be-read pile (this also includes audiobooks in my to-be-listened-to download queue). I will try to combat these two inadequacies simultaneously by taking my books to the gym, and hopefully, through pages turned and miles walked, I will see a positive change in my mental and physical wellbeing, and can pass along book recommendations while I’m at it.
Here’s to achieving mens sana in corpore sano antequam insanimo: a sound mind in a healthy body before I go mad.
