when you leave something for a long time and then try and get back into it, it's really weird. You fee like you should be able to just jump right back in, but the abilities you had developed are no longer developed. Thus, you have to start over like you had never done it in the first place. I came to this realization today. I jumped into three things that I used to do a lot, but haven't done in a long, LONG time.
One of those things was exercise. I'm still a bit sore from what I did this afternoon. The only reason that I was able to move after doing all those sit ups and push ups was my job. Being a bus boy is very physical, so my new exercise routine didn't kill me from the start.
The next thing was my comic. I started drawing again. It took quite a bit of work to get the main character down. I had lost him and had to do a few takes before I had a semblance of him back in my mind and hand. So now I will draw everyday. This will do a number of things. One, my comic will start to be updated again. Two. I will start doing something productive that will give me a feeling that I've accomplished something each day so I don't feel like a total loser. Three, I'll be acting on one of my dreams.
And the third thing I jumped back into was this. Blogging. It's not as hard as the other things, but I had to get my brain to a point where it was able to just start expelling thoughts. I haven't done that in a while so that took some mental gymnastics for me. But by this point, I'm fully back in the game. So I blog on. I should try to blog daily. Will I ? I don't know. Maybe not. It's really not as important in my life as the other two things.
And now that I'm done with those thoughts, I look at the clock and tell myself, "Oh crap." I have to be awake in six hours so I'm gonna leave now. bye bye all. pray for me if you get an inkling.
