Acknowledgement

I always thought I was stiff, but a lot of my fellow teachers-in-training tell me I’m super flexible. And it’s true, a lot of them can’t get into the poses I can.

But I’m flexible now, because of the work I put in. Biking half an hour to 6 am classes. Practice while the world slept. Ego-caused injuries. 200 hours of training in a foreign country.

Nobody understands. They see a hobby. They see a hedonistic lifestyle. They see potential spiraling down the drain.

Acknowledgement only solidifies my resolve to live, headfirst into the uncharted.
