Tred-milling

[hijadediablo]

Before I started taking the fitness class that I'm taking this semester, I avoided tred-mills. The idea of covering a great distance and not actually going any where seemed dumb to me. So, when I did go running, at the very least it was around a track. However, with this fitness class, we are expected to do a cardio workout, and with my knee

*hugs* I am sorry.

But perhaps... this isn't such a bad thing. If it becomes a quagmire you're bogged down in for a long period of time, then yeah, not so great. But if it's just a moment's breath, as light pause, then maybe it's what you need. Sometimes, we need to get lost before we can find ourselves again. Consider it a time to chart your next course.

ALthough you seem a little lost in yourself. I've been there lately. Just sort of drifting. What's been helping me, and what I think might help you, is getting back in touch with myself. There are certain things that bring me home when I'm lost. The ironic thing is, the more lost I am, the less I seem to do those things. For me - and it sounds like for you, too - one of those things is writing. Sometimes it's journaling, or poetry, sometimes working on a manuscript, sometimes it's just opening up a new word document or new notebook and letting loose. But it always anchors me back where I want to be anchored - inside.

Maybe the river's still there, you've just stepped out of it. But you have the ability to step back in.

Just something to consider ;)

That's really great advice and you're right: writing is the key to me rediscovering myself. At this time it's generally journaling, and I've been doing a lot of that lately. However, maybe this time it's just writing. Between school, work, and homework, I haven't had time to simply write. At work, sometimes I just sit and free write for the duration of the time I'm there (whenever I'm not needed, any way) and that's been a lot of fun, but for some reason, in other situations when I actually have the time to work on one of my dozens of stories that are just waiting to be written, I'm more likely to turn on the tv or bring up Netflix on my computer. So, really, I think part of who I need to get back in touch with is my inner author, whom I've been abandoning. But now I'm just thinking out loud, which is more for my benefit than for yours. ;D Thanks a lot for the advice. I think it's what I needed.
