Moving even you don't want to

Yesterday, I was out in the city going from one place to another, and I managed to reach 10k, which made me feel successful but also totally drained.

I'm really trying to see the light, but lately, it's often difficult. Art is my outlet (surprise, surprise) and gives me some peace. If you're also struggling with mental health, you can try generative art like fractals or AI-based.

I like the tranquil atmosphere and the pastel tones that these two lakes are depicted in. The reflections from the water are a nice extra touch, even though there are some inconsistencies occasionally... look carefully at the picture below. 😄

My exercise goals have been a total disaster lately. Last week, I only managed to reach 5k steps twice. Conveniently enough, I forgot to post the report the second time... silly me. Not the first time, and certainly, it won't be the last one, either.

Reasons and excuses... my mental and physical health going off the rails. There's this annoying combination of migraine, seizures, depression, anxiety and sleep problems that trigger each other. Combine these with a neurodivergent person's approach to society and life, and everything explodes. It's too hard to handle them all at once. Doctors prescribe pills that interact with each other. Of course, there's never a guarantee which one will suit your body, to begin with. We always consider modern medicine advanced, but there's plenty to improve.

This is how starryai interprets epilepsy. It is interesting how it decided to focus on eyes.

And this is what the prompt "migraine" produced. I think the gory red matches well what migraine is like. I often say that migraine makes my brain turn into spaghetti. It seems that the AI agrees on that...
