Adrenaline, Glory & Dopamine

Adrenaline rush
I never really liked most kinds of sports. I love dancing, yoga and badminton. 
But that's it, nothing more.
Working out at the gym is never my thing.

But my boyfriend is gonna love this: I think I like it (except the treadmills) :P

I haven't had an adrenaline rush for a long time! And it felt so good.
I couldn't remember when was the last time I danced so hard that I had to lie on the studio floor, wheezing like I'm an old lady.
Not that I was that exhausted today, but adrenaline rush? at the gym?!
I just love how life is full of surprises

Glory
With that adrenaline rush and a smile on my face, I attended an award ceremony, for sports.
No, I'm not the recipient.

There are a few healthy, happy athletes who are champions for something.
When they got on stage, their friends among the audience went up to join them.
So, on the stage  was a bunch of happy kids, all smiling & cheering.
'That is the size of my ENTIRE department,' I told the girl next to me.
Then I began to understand why boys take sports so seriously as if it meant their glory.
It really does meant glory, to some extent.

That moment was captivating. Not because of glory or victory.
But because I see people studying & doing what they love, or at least what they are good at.
That is a true blessing. I feel so happy for them.

Dopamine
Travelling all the way to meet a friend, just to say Happy Birthday,
having a bunch of nice, funny friends,
seeing my boy telling him how grateful I am to have him & I love him,
having nice Thai food for dinner.

I know I have dopamine in my blood.
I love life.

Love,
N
