This is me.This is my life.
Yeap.
People are staring at me, wondering why is this kid endangering his life doing stupid "stunts", jumping like monkeys everywhere, like nothing better to do. Other people will go this guy trying to kill himself in a stylistic way. Or some unique breed will go on thinking that I'm trying to impress, show-off, amaze the crowd. Jump jump, fly here fly there, do crazy stunts, climb wall. Or the public will think I'm trying to create a nuisance or destroying public property.
That's just what people think. It's not true.
Its more then a hobby or a pastime or a sport or whatever you guys think it is. Its a passion, its my life, its my oxygen. After about 16months of practicing this art, this discipline, this passion, I found that this will be and forever will be part of my life. Its very different from any other sports, any other activity like rollerskating or biking. I'm only happy that I realize this 'sport', tried it, and loved it. And nothing can stop me now.
The feeling of going out there to the outside world, using just your body to do such wonderful movements, a jump, a flip, a vault, etc. What could be better then that? The feeling of freedom, the ability of expression, no restrictions, moving the way you want to. Doing the things you like, taking on the world as your playground, moving like a kid again. Nothing could be better then that. That's for me though.
If people go like, you jump jump jump also for what? Why got fun? Risk your life for what? Why do you even want to do this for?
Then I'll counter, you meetup so much with your friends for what? Get so obsessed with how you look for what? 24/7 computer games for what? Slack your life away for what?
Oh and by the way, training up yourself, making yourself stronger, discipline yourself to get your ass out of the chair and get out to the harsh outside world to train, constantly improving yourself, being active, exercising, get your body prepared, learning more of your body, how things works, being able to move, having fun, learning how to overcome obstacles, etc. Surely thats something of benefit.
It's just part of my life now.
And I'm not exagerrating things or trying to be funny. I'm serious.
I only make videos because I like videos too. I like filming, editing, camerawork. Its a thing I realize that I like from young. I have an interest way before I started doing this. I make other random videos too, not just those you see in my youtube profile. Its another passion. I might not be very good in filming or editing, might not be very professional, but I like it and I'm always trying to learn more. I don't make videos because I wanna showoff, gain recognition, or impress others. Whatever for anyway?
I just realize I'm very different since I've gotten to know this discipline. I'm different from others, very different. I like underground music and have a taste that what people don't like. Most people don't like the music that I like. And hardly anyone likes making videos too, they only like photoshopping their photos. No one moves like I do, no one thinks like I do. Well, but so what? I'm still human.
Nowadays people are only concerned with how things looks,
Not on how things truly are.
Well, I still know that there are other things that are important in life. I know how to prioritise stuffs and I know that there are more then just this passion that revolves around me. Friends, people, family, health, studies, and everything else. So I'm not just training-obsessed and don't care about anyone but myself.
Anyway, I hope I cleared things up. And just for your info I don't practice Pahcour, as you realize I never mentioned that word once. And I'm not joking. Hahahahahaha.
I'll just call it movements. Don't ask why.
Written by yours truly.
