What Happens When…?

What happens when you switch phones? I thought I’d backed up all of my photos but I’m not that good with tech so have missed some. No worries though, I’ve been really enjoying looking back through the (many) pictures and videos that I have been squirreling away in my drive. Adventures shared with Sir bringing big smiles to my face as my eyes absorb the memories. Like the video that this screen grab is from.

I was experimenting, hoping to find out what happens when you strip a bungee cord and use the innards to create something that hurts. I was not disappointed.

Inside the fabric sheath are hundreds of teeny-tiny rubber bands. Their group strength far greater than individual. When in the outer casing they don’t stretch enough to deliver more than a grumpy thud. But when pinged separately they broke really quickly. What happens when they’re grouped, tied together into straps of multiple, fine bands? Then placed around the body and pinged.

It hurts, that’s what happens!

And what happens when it hurts? How do I process the pain?

Not all pain processing looks or sounds the same. But look at the picture above, look at my hand. I felt them land hard across my nipple and the tender flesh to the side of my ribs. This was a six out of ten pain. More psychological than physical due to the self inflicted nature. My left hand, extending away from the bands, becoming a fist, while simultaneously exhaling hard. And then, then… the intense sensation caused by the bands explodes through my body, energy coursing across my flesh, tunnelling in through the pores and creeping into my soul. Each ping a drip of delight for my heart, mind and body.

So, that’s what happens when I strip back bungee cords and ping myself with them. I wonder if you’ve explored any other everyday items for this “other” ideas?
