I've begun a journey and I do not know how long it will take, maybe a month, maybe a year, who knows, but this journey is a focus on the long term aspects of happiness and less on instant gratification. As part of this move, I will be spending less time playing video games, and more time bettering myself as a person, through means of martial arts. Long ago when I was a little kid I used to go to a karate class and I remembered how cool it was that I was learning how to defend myself properly. I don't remember what got me into it in the first place, maybe it was the Karate Kid movie or something IDK. But I remember how happy it made me. Granted the physical strain wasn't so great, at least at first but I got over it. The question you are all probably asking me is "Where are you learning these classes? Isn't every non-essential job shut down due to the pandemic? Well, that's where youtube comes in, right now and pretty much only cost your internet/ electric bill I can go online look up a few lessons at a time, and then practice them outside. Which is what I'm going to start doing in the next couple of minutes. Limbering up, exercising, getting my shit together and I can't wait to see the results at the end of all this. OF course, the human body has its limits and I'll only ever do this for a certain amount of time. Another question you might be asking is what am I learning? Well, I'm learning to do kung fu. Yeah I know it sounds ridiculous, This somewhat overweight dude behind a computer screen learning something as strenuous as Kung fu. I know it's going to be hard, no one said it was going to be easy. But I'm going to do it. One day at a time.
