run and routine
headed out for a slow, long, leisurely run. a run at a slow pace, something that I haven't done for a long time, a run unlike all the usual trainings, a run to clear the mind. before I know it, its 8km down.
now that I've finished my NS (finally), the biggest routine of my life is gone. hcult training has stopped for this week, and OCIP things are pretty much done. suddenly it seems like the usual routine of life is gone. it dawned on me how reliant people are on routine. routine not necessarily in the bad sense of routine work, but routine seems to give us a certain comfort, that we know what's happening next, that we know we'll be comfortable with whatever we are doing.
it takes a certain effort to stop, break away, and listen to the random pulses of desire within us, to act according to what we want right at the moment. this is not quite the same as acting on impulse, or doing things out of the spur of a moment though.
