.hrmz.

i know this is so cliche, and trust me i never ever blog about celebs (unless they have small hips, nice butts or are really pretty), but was reading andre's blog and saw this quote. Not that i think thorpe and i are on equal grounds (coz we aren't, at least not in terms of swimming), but it summed up my thoughts about why i left swimming.

"I started to look at myself, not just as a swimmer but as a person

You can swim lap after lap, staring at a black line, and all of a sudden, you look up and see what's around.

That's what it feels like to me. Ask more questions, ask what the relevance of swimming is in my life now.

Swimming has provided a safety blanket for me, a security net. When i'm not certain about developing other sides of my life, I just fall back into swimming."

hmm.
