I had the opportunity to go swimming today. Why? Because I wanted to be irresponsible and put off my finals till the last minute obviously. Also, I needed to wind down from ballet. It was pretty rough today. I really do enjoy pushing myself. It makes me feel real in a way. I guess that is my affinity with pain: the realness of it.
Anyway, about swimming. I somehow forgot how freeing it was. I forgot how it felt to be weightless. How it felt to contort my body whatever way I wanted without the stress of gravity. It was so cool! It was so relaxing. Being alone in the pool gave me time to think and just let go of a lot of steam. That was nice for me. What a miracle!
