Secret Stash 225

Update: Today, I made an extraordinary rediscovery. I was about my daily sprints in the yard (didnt even run because my shins hurt for some reason, but I can finally perform side to side jumps with out knee pain). The sun was setting which led to the conclusion of evening exercises, but as the veil of shadows draped across the land, I could not believe my eyes as 10 million fireflies lit up open sky (hahahahah). Bruh they were EVERYWHERE; surrounded by blinking dust. In that moment, everything just seemed so peaceful. Shiiiiii... I would of caught more than one but the mosquitoes were protecting them. (the lightning bug was safely released to the wild) Simple things can bring so much joy. A blast to the past.

 Dear Future Me,  It has been roughly one month after liberation, and I have fallen into a rut. I let the care free days slowly drain me of my purpose. My days begin at noon and my nights end when I fall asleep (whatever time that is). There is no order or productivity anymore; I am the reincarnation of a sloth (also clash of clans is destroying my life LOL). The only consistent thing in my days now is jiu-jitsu practice, and truthfully, I love it more than basketball. Nonetheless, the slothdom MUST END! Figure 1. Fat dude from Wall-E . The 500 lb male (right) exercises 1 min a day compared to his 480 mins scrolling social media, Netflix, clash of clans, and etc. ...  I needed days like this to learn, to remember these moments, to savor it ALL, TO NEVER be a bum AGAIN. (As tempting as sleeping in everyday or whatever sounds like, it is a curse not a blessing. Man must have purpose and order in life. Life must be lived with a code and a goal in mind.) The problem isn't tha...

*Young blood thinks there's always tomorrow* Dear Future Me, I awoke today and immediately traversed to jiu jitsu practice. There is something about sparring/fighting that brings me so much fulfillment. Idk what it is though... Nontheless, I am an official member now so time to hit that daily training (gotta make the most of that monthly 150 YIKES).  Today, I feasted on crawfish at my cousins house. (Haha mid-day crawfish on a thursday - true freedom). The sun's gaze was bright and warm, and the trees danced with the cool breeze that welcomed a new spring. Life is beautiful. It is peaceful. On the flip, I have been measuring my calories intently and the gains are clearly evident. I have been struggling with Marcus Aurelius's book though; there's just no structure. O'well I'm almost complete anyway.
