My Readjustment

For the last year or so, I have had the feeling that I have kinda gotten this whole life thing figured out... not that I was perfect by any means, but I figured out how it works and how to be a well adjusted young man. but as cliched as this sounds, the last week has kinda put me in my place on a couple different levels... and by my place, I mean this... that I will continue learning about life, people, relationships, and myself until the day I die.

So i haven't run in about a week, which to most normal people sounds like a way to relax. not that more proof was necessary, but I must not be a normal person. By not running this week, I think I have created more stress in my life. Why haven't I been running? This nagging ankle injury (can I even call it that) that has been bugging me for a couple months. I have a sneaking suspicion/hope (i cross my fingers on this one) that it is because my current pair of running shoes have too many miles on them. I bought a new pair and I hope to start running again in the next couple days. this whole ankle injury has proven that I am not totally invincible... not that I ever really believed that, but it was a nice thought.

I also learned a thing or 20 about what it is like to be in a healthy relationship. without going into any details, there was something that I thought was normal that is most likely not normal or healthy in a relationship. Thankfully, I have the most patient girlfriend in the world, so I just wanted to say thanks for being understanding. The most shocking part of this whole realization was that I have thought of so many cases where I totally misinterpretted the situation (or just never thought that my interpretation was weird), which made me feel like quite the dufus. but apparently that is how you learn.

i am a bit tired so i am sure none of this made sense but ohh well. at least it made my fingers more toned.
