So maybe this is a real change for me?
First all, can you believe this... I am running! I am actually trying to train for a certain distance. Just a humble 4 miles without resting, that's my goal for now. It's nothing glamourous like a half marathon. But i am doing it for myself, not for anyone else so i am good. For those who knows me well know that I HATED running with all my might. It's boring, repetitive, brainless... or so I used to think. Not until lately, after i almost past out during a shadow boxing class at 24, do i realized how bad my endurance was. And mentally, I really need to train for perserverance. It's a huge flaw of mine that I want to change and I am getting there.
This is a weird transitional period for me. I have finally come to terms with myself about some shizzles. Not like i was completely crazy before, but i think i found that tranquility that i envy others for. I used to have a lot of anger and insecurity within me, although they were mild and I was completely functional on the surface. I felt like there was a need to prove myself to others (or even just prove to myself) constantly. Always tried to prove to people how fun and crazy and funny and fiesty and independent of a person i am. It was tiring, and i lose myself within this little complex of mine. Now I've finally come to realize that, it is ok for me to be average, normal, quiet, slow, gullible, naive, humble, mushy and stupid as long as I am happy and have peace of mind. f yea!
(LOL was profanity really called for just now? see, another prime example)
Don't get me wrong, the pain is still there and probably is just as intense as it always has been. But I can finally withdraw myself from negative thoughts, and face my problems, flaws and life's imperfections with peace of mind. This is somewhat exhilarating, yea i kid you not.
It seems like my quarter life crisis after 4 years, has finally come to an end! A tough 2-year for me living without you, tough love. But I learned a lot along the way. I m not sure if the pros and the cons cancels out, and it is still painful as hell whenever i think about it. But I guess I can really say now that everything happens for a reason. Oh how I only wish I didn't have to lose so much before learning my lesson. The cost was astronomical. It was devastating with a sad ending. But as Ms Fergie rambmles "fairy tales don't always have a happy ending do they?" Right on. All I can say is, some things are just not within my control. I am turning it over to whoever's in charge up there. At least I am doing the right thing (for once! gee) guilt-free with integrity and peace of mind.
