Feel the Rain.

I have a tendency to try to keep people happy, even if it means that I suffer.
But for the first time in a while, I made a decision to do something for myself. Something to make myself happy. It means I have to give something up...something that means a whole lot to me. But it also means that a lot more doors will be opened.

Yesterday, I went swimming with Sam. I taught her how to do the freestyle stroke and the butterfly. We swam laps. Lots of laps. I didn't realize how much endurance and strength I have lost since I left swim team. I was kind of upset at myself, honestly. I couldn't even swim half the number of laps I used to be able to. And I got sore a whole lot faster. I'm still sore today. :( But I'm not gonna just quit. I'm going to build my muscles and my endurance up again.

Swimming helped cheer me up yesterday. I wasn't in the best mood when I went... but I guess it was just something about being back in the water that cheered me up. I was completely at peace. I didn't have a single worry on my mind. It was nice. :)

I really love lemonade. And music. And animals. I realized the other day that kangaroos are really cute. And I decided that I want one. I would name him Lars.
