Lord of the Feels: The enchanting effect of music

(Note: This post is spoiler-free) We all have a basic understanding of our feelings, and what actions cause them. Some are common to us all, like exercise making us feel good; accidentally ripping your trousers at work makes us embarassed. The rest of it is mostly subjective, as we all have different tastes.

The unusual challenges of being an amateur runner

I’ve never liked running. Never. And that is simply because I find it quite punishing.
