Hello everybody new and old and older...and oldman!
Maybe some of you remeber me maybe you dont. I havent been here for what seems to me a veeery long time.
Not because of the forums but because i stopped any form of martial arts, training, or in fact any form of excersise. I ve put on about 20kg, started smoking, drinking 'etc'. In fact I think the only person that can compete with me right now is Homer Simpson. Obviously there are several reasons for this change in me, and those reasons I ve put behind me and intend to start down the path that I once was walking. Everything that I had accomplished in my MA life has been undone and I now feel like the biggest noob in history.
I m looking for a new school perhaps a new style (I used to do wing chun) but I havent decided on that yet. I m looking for a new direction.
I feel like I ve lost something of myself, having been away from martial arts for so long. Its strange because I never thought it would affect me that much, but it did; not practicing has left a gaping hole in me which can only be filled with what I have lost.
I m reaallyyy happy that I have a chance of a new beginning.
I m not writing this post for sympathy, just to sort of release some demons and primarily to stress the importance of NEVER NEVER EVER quitting what you believe in, what makes you yourself and what anchors you to the ground; but more importantly to always know that once something becomes your anchor, it will always be so, and it will always be something you can return to in the future even if you have neglected it. And I m not just talking about martial arts.
Also by writing here, it makes it more solid in my head that I am infact going to start MA again.
Good to see old faces *names*, and look forward to meeting some new ones.
peace in the middle east
