Yesterday at work, I seemed to have tweaked my lower left back. I don’t recall doing it but about an hour before I was set to leave I started noticing the slight pain and discomfort. I unfortunately have a history of back issues but I’ll take this type of pain and discomfort anyway over the few times that I was unable to walk. Those were rough ones...
As the evening went on and I was home, the pain gradually became a bit stronger. The wife tried helping and used the stupid massager on it and gave me a heating pad to place on it. She’s a good egg that

This isn’t the first time I’ve noticed this when my back and I do this song and dance. We’ve played this game before. I walked from the kitchen to the bedroom and I was breathing heavy. I guess its my shitty body compensating as to not utilize those muscles? I’m exerting more as my body naturally leans to avoid further strain on what obviously needs some time to heal. Natural compensation.
It then got me thinking how we naturally compensate in other facets of life. How we just adjust to make something function as smooth as possible. Be it a co worker not pulling their weight. How many of us have found ourselves in the position of having to just pick up the slack from someone not doing their work?!? I bet a large majority of us.
That can also happen in our personal relationships as well. Be it a significant other or a friend/family member. I know I’ve jumped through hoops trying to make things work in my previous marriage. When I saw things falling out of sync I naturally tried to compensate for her lack of love, affection, and overall care for the relationship.
With a few friends I’ve had throughout my life, it was a challenge to keep the relationship going as they made near no effort. Naturally I was the one making the plans. Reaching out always fell on my lap with those people. I never really thought about it in deeper terms until now but that was my heart and mind naturally compensating to try to help in repairing something that was broken or damaged. Much in the same ways that the other parts of my body are working in overdrive as to not stress out the injured area....hence my sloppy out of breath breathing.
I wish I had more insight or thoughts on this. I wish I had the words to delve deeper into this. To flow endlessly as one of my favorite writers here in 
Thx for reading my insane morning thoughts.
