Written on 6 25 2025 after I played basket ball with my best friend in 90 degree heat.
It’s been a while/since I let my worries go/was able to clear my mind/sometimes rest is needed/but other times interactions/with family or just shooting hoops with your best friend/sometimes I forget to feed myself/found out today I’m not the only one/
Just for fun/try to let things ride/sometimes in the heat of the day/that is when your body begs for mercy/keep hydrated people try to tell me/I tell them that my body is fine/when it could use a rest/it is begging for a drink/when the pressure is off/I feel a little bit lighter/
I know I didn’t get here over night/I know I still have a ways to go/but sometimes when things get deleted/then you can relax/and rebuild stronger and better/whether shooting baskets/or talking over a meal/that you both know is long overdue for both/
Just for fun/don’t try so hard/to understand where your passion lies/some days rest is needed/but other days just for fun/let the music flow/whatever soothes your itch/whether others will understand or not/glad it’s not essential/for other people’s opinions/
