This weekend, what has passed.

What has passed is over. The time can never be gained. Everything passed by in a blur this weekend, the days fused with each other, the time is compressed and smashed together. I tell myself to stop and pause, but it never works. With everything being so busy, I've really been enjoying the time I get to play tennis with friends. It definitely helps to clear my head and get out any frustration I may have, smacking the shit out of the balls is my therapy. Over the five or so years I've been playing regularly, I think I'm playing my best in recent days. It's a lot of fun but requires so much concentration to be good at.

It's March already and time is flying by. Lately I find that myself not having time to just sit and process my thoughts. Between my boyfriend, job, random ass homework, tennis, and friends, there's no time left in the day to think! I do like to keep busy with work, school, and play, I am quickly finding out that I do have limits. Whenever I get that grapefruit sized knot in my throat, that feeling of dread, I know I'm over extending myself. I mean, how the hell do people have time for children?! I think I just get carried away with trying to do everything at once. I need to realize that tennis will still be there if I don't play today. Shitty movies will still be released even if I missed whatever god damn foreign film I'm obsessing about lately. But people, I think that's where my focus should lie. I think I'll sit and stew about this some more.
