Quite frankly I don't like getting feet massages. In fact, I use to hatttteeee massages period. However, with age everything changes. Little by little, I feel certain joints in my body cringe. Time to time, pain creeps in and crawls from my lower back up to my shoulder blades. When I shrug my shoulders, I can hear the muffled sound of fragile bones crack. Day by day, I notice a habit beginning to develope. One in which stretching inches its way to becoming a daily routine. Leaning to one side with my legs spread apart, I bend over and slightly pull my leg to one side while in the almost-split position. All the while, tension in my aging muscles loosen and I feel a little bit more flexible.
I grew up picky. I was the 'princess' who wanted everything my way. Coke and chocolate were my addiction and though I got rid of the soda addiction I still have my chocolate addiction. I guess somethings in 'you' remains the same all your life. Maybe little things in me have remained the same, but its a good thing or how would people define me? Yet I am happy that I am changing. People wait all their lives to get out of their cacoon and flutter into the world...Well i don't exactly like that metaphor since I dislike butterflies. I must admit though that it is quite shocking how much I've grown. Thinking back to my childhood, I have distinct memories of stealing. Yes stealing...can you believe it? I was a sticker theif sad to say. Hopefully none of those poor kids in my chinese kindergarden miss their stickers. Not only was stealing a routine I executed, but fighting with my brothers. Yup. I use to scratch them, bite them, pinch them till they bled, and all sorts of absurd methods to inflict pain I did on them. Well they returned the harsh treatment, so i don't feel that bad about what happened. Our relationship throughout middleschool and highschool continued to become better. Now we have an unseperable bondage created through love.
Your family is your 'team'. They are the ones who look out for you on the field. They are the ones who you're suppose to be able to run to in times of pain and problems. They protect you when you have opponents charging at you. They have your back no matter what.
Ever since childhood, my dad told me these words and how one day I'll come to love my brothers. I guess he was right =). Joe Joe told me that next year will just be a taste of college life and he's right. Just got to stay strong and quit being resistance to drastic changes. I should try getting my foot massaged now and see how I feel about it. I mean the last time I did it, I wiggled around and tried to restrain from squaking at the masseuse.
Who knows what God has in store for me now?
