My Body is a TEMPLE!

Nov 24, 2008 18:17

Through out my whole life, well up until more recent I had put so much time and effort into myself! Self-absorbed could DEFINE ME perfectly in my early youth. I could never go a day without running early in the morning and later on night, in between that was at least 100 crunches, sit-ups, push up and calve lifts each. My body was a fine tuned and toned machine and there was nothing that could keep me from keeping her this way, or so I thought. I was always used to getting complimented all the time for my beauty from head to toe and how I was able to juggle working out constantly, school and a job. I always blamed it on sports and being young. With those compliments was also complaints and jealousy, which was most of the time easy to recognize and ignore.

Now that the "real life" has hit hard. You know, the bills, responsiblity and stress... Business seemed to be my nickname no matter if it was work or play. I loss touch with the things most important to me. Writing, going to church, music, hanging with my friends and especially working out was all I needed to stay content long ago. Then the wonderful world of freedom and indepence made me absent minded to my simple wants and needs! Along with the fake friends and acquaintances who did nothing but help cloud my vision.

Because everything happens for a reason, I was redirected away from the detour that was becoming my life. Sure, I am and was still getting more than my share of compliments and seem some what still on top,something was wrong. I blamed myself for the failed friendships and most relationships especially this past one, until I was able to see the big picture. I have been blessed with the knowledge to take a step back, wisdom enough to know that it takes time to become who you are meant to be and get what you want, and the patience to wait this thing called a grey area out until the sun shines again! Through these past months after my incident, I've been soul searching more than ever. The rays are starting to peirce those dark clouds more and more as the days go on. I'm going running early tomorrow morning and later on that night, and in between that I'm going to do 100 crunches, sit-ups, push-up and calve lifts... each! It has been time to get back to the basics!
