I went to see my Physio friend yesterday and he told me that I didn't have a migraine. He even taught me exercises how to relieve the tension in the neck and shoulder. And it's fantastic! I'm so privileged to have this friend. That wasn't even my chief complaint.
I've been hobbling on and off the last month. And he told me that I have a sports injury. I have a sports injury! I'm so proud of myself! This is cos, as a good friend said today, I consider this to be a battle scar. I have battle scars. Oh it's plural cos Not ONLY do I have an Achilles Tendon issue, I have CALLUSES on my left hand's fingers from guitar playing!
I think I've been having a good time exercising and practising music recently. As I said before, I'm no athelete. The decision to play guitar more seriously was also a recent one. I think since I came back from Redang, I've felt better about playing the guitar. The guitar used to trigger off bad memories but, those ghosts of the past are gone. I only have the good memories now.
I think I'm maturing. My "emo" phase is fading away. Perhaps, emotionally I was stunted while I was in my twenties. Intellectually, I've always been ahead. That's evident. But emotionally, I think I put EVERYTHING in cold storage for the first 20 years of my life. One has to look at life's experiences in it's totality. Not just the good parts or just the bad parts. Even when there are bad memories, there should be no regrets, cos the experience will generate good memories too! This gem of wisdom, I learnt from Serena. Thanks Hwee, you're really my Yoda!
Think I'll definitely go do some sports when I get to Australia next month. Maybe I can aquire more battle scars!!!
