"letting go doesn't mean giving up. it means moving on. it is one of the hardest things a person can do. starting at birth, we grasp on to anything we can get our hands on, and hold on as if we will cease to exist when we let go. we feel that letting go is giving up, quitting, and that as we all know is cowardly. but as we grow older we are forced to change our way of thinking. we are forced to realize that letting go means accepting things that cannot be. it means maturing and moving on, no matter how hard you have to fight yourself to do so."

training today was...dunno what to say. mixed feelings. my basics werent there. partly because of the aching arm. mainly because i'm lousy. things like paddle roll and hand roll can even be forgotten. how weak i am..): i know it's useless to say it out but its a fact sadly. i know i can only improve by training harder. somehow people have different learning abilities. i thought i've learnt hand roll. i thought i could paddle roll well. but now? if i capsize, its 50/50 that i can recover or lesser. ARGH...nvm. but i saw improvement in my keeping - something for me to happy abt. but ultimately, basics are still the most impt.




cant stand it. cant take it. just want to scream out loud. ): what say you?
