You have goals in life, no? Of course you do. You wanna hear mine? Be forewarned: this goal is so thought provoking that those with lesser functional gastrointestinal systems might not want to read further. I want to do...........................a.......................................handstand. You're now thinking, "this better be good", in that little voice you do. Oh, I know your voice. My voices talk to yours all the time. I digress......................I want to do a handstand. Let me give you the exposition to the little story of how that came to be: my life. I was born over 10 pounds as a child. I. Was. Fat. And I have exercise asthma too, so I was actually afraid of activity, leaving me the short obese stereotype for my prepubescent life. Hold up, does asthma have a silent th? Whats up with that? Long story short, I had big dreams, but was too big to do it. I love acrobatics. But you must be strong to do those things, in fact you must be strong to do anything. Well, what is strong? Simply, the ability to actualize one's will. When I do that handstand for the first time, (I still can't do one actually) it's the fulfillment of my will. It's the freedom of my spirit. Strength is merely my soul's freedom. And when I am strong, I am free, and I am more joyous than anyone on the face of this earth. That's whats been going on in my head at least.
