My Latest Obsession Revisited
Yes every year I have some kind of obsession, usually triggered by a particulr event, or a series of events. For example, last year, when we moved to a new place we have a really cool backyard, and I got obsessed with gardening, and keeping carnivorous plants. A few years back I got hooked on the trails in the Bay Area, and was totally into mountain biking. This year, after our trip back from Singapore, I revisited my obsession for inline skating. Why do I say “revisit”? I’ve been trying to master this skill since I put my first skates on when I was a teenager. Everytime, I just skated for a few days, and that’s it. Then when I start to pick it up again, I had to re-learn it again.
This time, I had the opportunity to skate everyday, and since I bought myself a new pair of Rollerblade skates, I am loving every minute of it. Even though the soles of my feet ached, my shins hurt, and I skate like a baby learning how to walk, I still come back for more. I love it that I’m improving, though slowly, but I do get a little better each day. Now I need to keep up with this, and soon I will be able to participate in the skate events here. That’s my goal.
