This is a reminder that this isn’t my doing, but of those who have, no matter how small the mark, inspired and pushed me personally, academically, and not-to-be-an-A-hole-y. I am only where I am because I have been, perhaps undeservingly, enabled by others on multiple fronts. so thank you for your continued faith, trust, and belief.

*noblesse oblige*

how honest can we be, or are willing to be, at this given moment, time, and circumstance? if its about honesty in the present, then the little goals that are set may serve as benchmarks to guage our consistency with our selves and self-honesty. i suppose i should also be honest in saying that i am unfamiliar with Neruda’s works, and that i’m guilty of nice-quote-tumblr-posting syndrome.

also, i’m not sure if use of the word “Taiwan” is used appropriately in the context of the title. my inclination leans moreso towards specific partisan intentions.

“The view from San Jacinto is the most sublime spectacle to be found anywhere on this earth.” - John Muir

the current thought is:

perhaps this is what I’ve been looking for… an avenue to continuously challenge the mental and physical self, despite all the shifts that have been, or will be, occurring. with the last year or so, the thought has been less about “replacing” dance, but rather, elevating the principles instilled through dance: physical wellness, cognitive plasticity, but more importantly, the balance between the two. knowing intentions and trusting abilities in order to recognize, then maximize personal limits in the long term.

I suppose the idea of preparation now extends beyond injury prevention, and includes not getting lost in the woods or falling off a mountain. here’s to new adventures.
