save our intellectual sterility

in the past recent months, i’ve been fairly dormant in terms of intellectual production. partly because i’m working rather than being a full-time student, partly because it increasingly occurs to me that who we choose to surround ourselves with in life is no more important than the intellectual materials that we choose to absorb.

my mind became fairly less complicated after i started weight lifting about three months ago. plus recently i started to befriend a lot of cool people at the school of kinesiology. my, my, being physically active really makes one feel good.

i’m not saying that physical dexterity and intellectual activity are exclusive from each other. if i learn anything in the past six months, our time is so limited. when i was slightly younger, especially in high school, i never felt being bounded by a timeframe. youth and potential seemed equally infinite at that stage of my life.

been there, done that. learned the most challenging, time-consuming musical instrument—don’t hate me, alternative instrument players.

i have been also actively propagating the values of refusing a sedentary style. yoga, weight lifting, doing handstand. i cannot get over those subjects. i’m very happy that sports have become an integral part of my routine, making a happier, better person. for a while in my life, my back was so frozen that i couldn’t even feel anything. compared to then, i develop a far more sensitive awareness of my shoulders.

don’t get me wrong—i’m not happy about intellectual sterility. except that at moment of pondering my physical health, i am happy about the fact that i spend less time sitting by a desk with the risk of upper back pain and hunchback.

that being said, i’m all prepared to return to school. i cannot wait to finish my next degree. first, let me nail this grad school application, and most of all, the upcoming lsat test.
