nostalgic pain

some of you may already know that i happened across a playground with a swing set last week. i don't believe it was coincidental, but more on that later.

i finished my japanese final today. i didn't do my best, but i did what was best for me physically and mentally. i got it done the fastest i could ~ knowing that i did do "my best" under the circumstances.... this cold is not going away as quickly as i thought it would =(

anyway, to relax and relieve some stress, i turned to the swings. it was my favorite when i was little. and until recently, i didn't realize how much comfort just being on a swing would bring me.

i went home with open blisters on my hands.
*ouch*
but it's the good kind of pain.
....the pain i used to know all too well.
