4.28.25: Standing for Hours

Standing for hours straight is one of the most underrated forms of pain—yeah, I’m talking about concerts. Don’t get me wrong, I love live music, but after a couple of hours, my lower back starts filing complaints, my feet feel like bricks, and suddenly I'm calculating how far the nearest chair might be. Everyone around me seems fine, bouncing to the beat, and I’m just trying to shift my weight without looking like I’m 90. It's wild that we pay to suffer like this. Still worth it most of the time—but damn, standing that long really is its own battle.
