I am feeling like myself again tonight. I went to the gym earlier, and did my 40 minutes of cardio, and then I walked home. Simple, right? Yet somehow by doing that I felt free, I felt like the old me. I played my music on my iPod, and who cares if I played Liza Minnelli while I was exercising? No one. It was just me, no one else to please, no one else to worry about. It felt good. Little by little I am establishing the routine that I want for myself. I seriously felt that I was kind of losing my identity there for a second, but deep inside I knew it would never happen. I like the gym a lot, and during that particular time, the crowd was just perfect, meaning it wasn't crowded at all. I had my choice of machines, and the television screens were showing replays of the royal wedding (liked her dress, by the way, although it looks almost nothing like the real Alexander McQueen would design) so it kept me occupied, and before I knew it, my cardio was finished. I am contented this evening.
The moment in between what you once were,
and who you are now becoming,
is where the dance of life really takes place.
