Swim team.
I like the feeling of basically killing myself to catch up to the ones who are faster than me. I like the feeling of almost bursting into tears because I just can't make it. I like the feeling of pushing myself harder and harder, tearing away all the stress and madness as I struggle through each stroke, sprinting.... sprinting.... finally getting to the end, a good deed done, the weight lifted off my shoulders. I feel the strength. I feel my pulse. I feel my lungs, ready to explode. I feel the burn, the fire, the heat escaping through my skin, flushing my face with a bright red. I can feel the determination to win. You wouldn't even imagine.

  1. This exactly sums it up, even though I don't swim anymore.
    This just sums up anything you work for, almost.
    WRITE MORE OFTEN, WOMAN.

  2. I know! I want to but I never get the chance... and I can't think of things to write about. :/

  3. Oh, I can never think of things to write about.
    So a while back, I stopped thinking, and just started writing.
    Works a lot better.
