Cry Moar

In the pool today, Haruka was trying to get up the nerve to put her head in the water. She had her goggles on, and was pinching her nose shut. I could see her head bobbing up and down as she counted to three inside her head, over and over again

I'm with you with the wrist injury.
My left wrist is busted ever since I broke it in an accident... nerve screwed up it took me a lot of rehabilitation to get it working more or less again but it doesn't work quite as well as I want it anymore... (though I'm lucky it's not paralyzed like the doctors first thought...but huzzah vor Tai Chi healing powers and aqua gymnastics and my parents...)

._. *hug*

It sucks, doesn't it. :P

But you're still pretty awesome, wrist or no wrist.

Is there a brace you can wear, or something? Or will that not help, or destroy the aesthetic? I know how frustrated you must be, especially because it's something you have no control over. But focus on those arabesques and 90-degree them out the window!!

I have a tenser bandage, but that would look too bulky on stage, I think. Anyway, the teacher's going to help me tape it next time to see if that works, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Haha, yes, and I'm probably going to ask you to help with some stretching while we're exploring China. :D

*hugs* As much as the 'one, two, three, jump!' tactic is admirable and good in some situations, I think part of growing up is realising your limitations and finding ways to adapt to them. I think you have a lot of the 'jump!' methodology in you still, you daunt me with your fearlessness sometimes.

Which is why it's prolly even harder for you to deal with your wrist and the problems it causes. It sucks, so much, that it's something you can't do anything about and not your fault. I hope strapping it up helps - what about a wrist brace/support? Just for that one dance or something?

I am amused greatly by Inui-sensei. He sounds lovely and awesome and hilarious XD And the other dancers sound delightful.

I've found yoga to be really helpful for improving flexibility, if you don't do that already? Because of my weird spine I have no problems bending backwards to a point, but bending forwards has always been problematic. After a couple weeks of yoga? No issues XD

*big big hugs and love and sweeties*

You know, I don't think I'm all that fearless. Perhaps more than some, but there are plenty of things where I'm not. Often, it's that I know the enjoyment/necessity of doing something will be worth it, so I just do it, without giving myself time to think of the rest.

Yeah, I'll try taping it, and using my tenser bandage. Hopefully that'll do the trick.

He's quite funny. More importantly, he's a really good teacher, and his classes are always fun and demanding.

I don't, though I've been thinking I should do some. I tried yoga classes back home and didn't like them much, but I do think some of the exercises would be good for me. I'll have to look some up when I get home after my trip.

Really, Becca said everything I would have wanted to and far more eloquently. Certain moves may not be possible for you to pull off effortlessly but there are so many other things you can triumph at. And speaking as somebody who has a Fujiyama-sized pile of fears, the only way to go forward to push right through them, even if it means pretending you aren't scared.

[blodeuedd]

It's all the more frustrating because it's something I would have been able to do before, but now I can't. :P

Exactly. If you don't give yourself time to be scared, then it's not so scary. ^_^

I don't think anyone is "attractive" when they actually cry. I get all red and my face looks like it is going to explode.

I have a bummed elbow and when I use to do yoga I had to do the "easy" poses for any pose I needed to put my weight on my right arm...it just is. Don't feel bad. Gambatte...
