Normal people: Ow that hurts! *stop doing it*

Dancers: Ow that hurts! *do it harder*

I love my white and yellow bed. I love the yellow morning light. I love my morning routine which has been like this: - 12 minutes meditation - 5 minutes moving however my body wants to move - 5 minutes drawing whatever my hands want to draw - 10 minutes writing down anything - shower, breakfast - and only then check social media I'm feeling grounded, and thrown all over the place all at once. I'm eating lunch like the picture here, almost every day. A grain, beans, rye toast with nut butter and banana, salad. I still struggle to know and decide whether I should be accepting my body and the food I eat, or trying to change things. That picture of me running (on Saturday) is taken at an angle that makes me feel uncomfortable. Especially next to my bean-pole training partner. I don't quite know what to about these thoughts. I'm seeing the sports dietitian again today. She's lovely. Today I'm also racing 10,000m and 25 laps around a track at the Western Province senior track champs. I have never done this before. Maybe it's a very ridiculous thing to try for the first time on such a wide-open platform. I don't know. I'm just kind of doing it. At 8pm. With all the lights on in the stadium. Life is surreal.

Yeah I'm fine, why? *Keeps grimacing and grinding my teeth every time I move my leg and my knee spasms*

I actually feel like this is one of THE best photos I've taken of myself. Like, I feel hot and I look hot. My shoulders are broad and open unlike usual, my forearms look sturdy and masc, the tilt of my head is perfection, the POSE is simply TO DIE FOR, the confidence to rock the compression braces (in my deku eraaaa) for once instead of hiding them, the wispy lil curly bangs, the way the shirt is sitting. I love this photo. Look at this boy, why is he so cunty????

I'm pretty sure our bodies know when the season is over. Like within an hour, aches and pains you've ignored become so full fledged and painful. 

It's like your body just flips a switch and says "It's healing time now".

Idk. Am I the only one that happens to? Because everything hurts right now.
