It's been 3 years since I last blogged. I do intend to start doing so more frequently, and maybe write about some of my recurring thoughts instead of just what's been happening.
Let's start with what's happening first though.
In March this year, I broke the 5th metatarsal of my left foot, by way of recklessness and misjudging distance. After resting it until about July or August, I began dancing again, and in September, I returned to contemporary dance class, where I fractured it again in the same spot. Apparently 4 months isn't long enough a time to heal. I am still paying for it, and it sucks big time.
The good thing about March though, was that I landed my first real job as a design engineer though this was after searching for a long time with about 7 months of bumming. (There's a whole story here too which I'll write about next time.) I've somehow managed to stay employed here.
As of right now, except for work, there has been absolutely nothing going on in my life. Whatever I have been doing (dancing, karate) has had to be suspended in light of this injury. I hope to return by early 2015. But anyway, I have just been working, watching friends dance and when not injured, attempt to dance. Okay, other than that, I've changed from using an iphone 4 to a Z3 compact, and gained a lot of, and then lost some weight. See mundane huh.
I do feel happy for some of my friends though. One has recently begun his career in auditing, and over the past year or so has become a really good street dancer. Wait a sec, he was good before that, now just better. Actually a whole bunch of them have become really good dancers, but while happy for them, I feel left behind and am getting pretty frustrated about it. Another dancing friend from another dancing genre also graduated from a course in dance, and just 1 year after getting her bachelor's degree. What's impressive about it is tht the course is supposed to be 2 or 3 years long.
While my friends are doing all these amazing things, I'm sitting here without an ambition and turning into a sack of shit. I don't like my circumstances, and I would like to do more to improve them. Maybe earn some weekend cash (but how to do so legally?). I don't know what to do. I feel stuck, and tied up. I can only envision a bleak future, if any at all.
