Maybe it's because I spend so much time out of the day training (it's not always physically, as some of my peers would believe), but I am now realizing I might have very little time to put into this journal. Gaisensei told me to find time. I always have before. But to me it seems like time is something I never have enough of.
There aren't enough hours in the day, and while sleep is critical, it always comes upon me as a nuisance, despite how much I need it. I know there exist a number of supplements that could make me go longer, but using things like that seems almost dirty. Gaisensei gives me a number of things to drink and eat throughout the day that will benefit my body, and sometimes when he gives me something new, I can't help but wonder if I am using artificial means to achieve my goals. I want this to be all me, but... well, I only have my martial arts skills.
Gaisensei is gone for a few days. Today I woke up alone, later than usual due to last night's training, and made my own breakfast. Then I made the protein shake, took my vitamins, took my joint and bone supplements. I take a lot of things. I don't really worry about it often (if ever), but sometimes I wonder if one day I'll just snap in two. My hands are already so gnarled, but I look at them and only see power. People only recognize me for my determination though. Just my determination.
This journal entry was more personal than I anticipated it to be. I suppose that means I'm improving, huh? I am aiming to master my typing skills before Gaisensei gets back. I spent the time before writing this with that program.
I still feel like this journal is taking away from my time, but I shouldn't think like that. However, I have to start my morning routine.
Oh, and I also realized that no one else seems to sign their journal entries. I find that odd, but I suppose it looks silly for me to do such a thing. So from here on out, I will not sign mine.
May everyone have a good day!
