(no subject)

i was sad yesterday afternoon. cried for an hour without quite knowing why.
except that i get worn out by the world always being such an uphill battle. i want something to be easy.

but, managed to convince myself that capoeira would help, and it did - there's not much time for feeling sorry for myself with belts to make, maculele to practice, and mestre pinto's classes.

a little disappointed that we just had one big roda instead of lots of little ones again - it would have been good to get a bit more practice in. still, was good. and i can do one-handed cartwheels! (not well, but i can do them.) and also a thing where you bend over backwards into ponch (arched back, a "U" shape on hands and feets) and then come back around...all without dropping myself on my head!

still feeling a bit down today, partly because of sleeping in and partly because of the weather, i think. another gloomy day. still, i am confident that i will deal with all the gloom.

and tonight i will go to the aberdeen and listen to the samba band and maybe even dance.
