My Sanctuary

Today was the first time I have touched a ball seriously in about 5 months. It was just me and the gym. My own sanctuary. It brings out the feelings of who I really am, when It is just me the gym, and my basketball. I could spend hours in the gym. It makes me feel relaxed. I can think about life. I can reflect on everything. It is the best feeling in the world. When I walk out of that gym after hours of sweat and hard work, I feel a sense of accomplishment, and self worth, that no one else can feel but me. I plan on sneaking away to the gym a little bit more often, and letting part of my old life seep back in to the person that I am becoming day by day.
