Of Birthday's and sore muscles
So Ive been working on going to the gym 5-6 days of the week and thus far Ive been fairly successful. To the point that today, a day off, Im actually sore. From my calves to my abs and everywhere in between. Ouchie.
One of the many reasons I enjoy going to the gym and working out, it not only allows me to, for lack of a better description, not think..or rather not emote, it also helps me feel like I can do anything I want, it reminds me that I am strong enough, that I don't need anyone but myself. Autonomy is mine.
With a slight migraine, I got to celebrate the fact that today was also my birthday, and I turned 25. I have to say, 25 is a bit over rated, tho, it is a slightly scary thought to consider the fact that Im now closer to thirty then I am to twenty. Eek!
It was a pleasant enough day, I got alot of mail which is always so nice and got alot of email and phone calls. Some years, Ive felt forgotten by everyone but my parents, but today was really sweet, alot of people reminded me why I love them, friends are such an amazing thing, no matter where you are at, they will drag you to a better place.
I got to talk to an old friend on the phone today, someone I had dated a while ago, we were good friends and thought it might be an idea to try another relationship version, while that didnt work, I remembered why I loved him in the first place and why I still love him. He lets me be me, without any expectations, he lets me be proud of who I am, without me trying to make him proud of me. He has always been there when i really needed it and for that Im grateful. Sometimes you don't need a Lover, sometimes all you need is a Friend.
To another 25 years, Life and Love, Happy and Sad, To Live, and To Learn and to Never Regret either.
Who know's I may decide against Hermitage yet! ; )
