Life.

this is me trying to figure life out.  “The story of my recent life. I like that phrase. It makes more sense than the story of my life, because we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality – and, in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.” - Mitch Albom the good things in life: adventure, dolphins, freedom, fresh air, friendship, happiness, house, independence, music, the night sky, rain, stars That Awkward Moment When You Click Here

I know you don’t want my company or my words, so

I give you space like satellites sing melancholy hums while they orbit,

like our shadows follow us in the daytime and give us distance when the dark sets in,

I just hope someone is putting their whole body around yours and telling you ...

today, after explaining the set (12x75s fin kick: 50 mod, 25 fast underwater), charlie comes over to me and the conversation: chaz: no noseplug? me: oh uh maybe later? chaz: 55s gotta come from somewhere

and he walks away.

and like 2 75s later, courtney comes over and hands me a noseplug.

played my first game of innertube wopo against wohlford tonight and prior to the game, noone believed that i couldn't move fast in a tube.... and then they watched me play T___T

a. its bomb being on a team of all swimmers b/c we're winning prelim rounds rn  b. but then they expect so much of you LOL or i just suck a lot but oh welll c. it was fun d. except when people you know are like grabbing your body AND your tube so you can't move at all and then your teammates are like wtf why isn't she moving. thanks for keeping it so classy, matt.

basically, there's a reason why i stick to swimming. it's not much of a choice type deal here.
