Well it happened again!!

I have the same back pain again that I have been having for the past few years. “Luckily” this is the 5th this year it has happened.

One of worst things I have ever experienced. It takes me to my bed. Lie there for a few days before I can recover.

Do you also sometime think everything is exactly same now.

For the past 2 months I have been battling with back pain. it hasn't been good time.

it got better over the weeks but then last week again, somehow it got triggered again and since then I was bed ridden.

As I reach my mid 30s, it keeps getting clear to me that I cannot train as I used to earlier in my life.

During college and later when I joined the workforce, I could workout for 2 hours everyday and still could function well throughout the day. The recovery was never an issue. I would still be able to active throughout the day. Never had I felt the need to stretch, although I always did because I liked doing so. This is what has made me hyper flexible.

This seems contradictory on the first interaction but let me explain.

Recently I started noticing one anomaly in my behaviour. I was missing a lot of stuff which I generally would not do. Like I would not put the lid back on the water jar in my kitchen after drinking water.

Taking a picture has been accessible for almost 20 years now but not everyone is a good photographer.

Writing a book has been very easy for almost a 50 years now if not a century but not everyone is a great writer.

Many a times I ask myself who do I want to learn photography. It is not a career option for me. It is not something I had always wanted to do. It’s just something I picked up last year.

Recently, while in a discussion, I was reminded of a book that I read. The book that helped me understand a lot about the world. Most importantly it helped me move on in life, from things that I was holding onto for emotional reason rather than practical ones.
