Time

"Time heals everything" ... or at least that's what many people might say, for me time is much more complicated than that you all know what I do for a living and you all know which my other passion is so time is so variable and so strange for me.

At parkour lots of people talk about time a lot.. they ask me how much time I've been training for, how much time do I train per week, how much time did it take me to do muscle ups or how much time I plan to keep on training, for most of this questions I have no answers... or at least I have no clear idea of time... I try to train as much as possible, yes as long as my knees cooperate and college allows me enough free time!

Time is not a thing that you can keep in your purse, wallet or backpack, sometimes time can be as good and short as a smile or it can be so heavily set on your arms like a 1000Kg rock I'm not sure if I am "prepared" to have a serious chat about time or even understant it completely.

My best "time measure" is feedback, the change of things and my own development, those are the only ways to measure time for me (eventhoug I have watches and some schedules) but I mean those are the true ones! Everything changes! That's what time does and every time we are feeling reluctant to accept it we suffer; we are not able to stop time, we are not able to live without it so what are we able for?

At this moment I only know we are able to use our "given" time, I can still remember I realised it takes you the same time to see the bad side of things than it takes to see the good side of them. So I've decided to stop wasting time and just focus on the positive side of them.

This is a complicated part of my life and I now think I need extra time for everything last week I hit my knee and considering they are not good (you know my permanent problem with them) it was soooo bad! It still hurts so I have to take some rest time and work on low impact techniques.

On the other hand we all need some time to change some aspects of our lives and mine has given a 180° turn in just a couple of weeks and I definitely need time to absorb all the changes I need time to adjust my person to them..

So parkour is taking a change too maybe it's just a time in which I have to focus on myself and see deep inside me.

I'll keep on writing and tell how it goes... everything shall be better soon...
