For us, these 2 should be one. But I'm taking a time out to see how lifting has helped me. When I started out lifting seriously, like, about 4 years ago, I had a busted leg and had just come out of high school. It was an uncertain time, and I didn't know where I'd end up. Had applied to several colleges, and was almost getting a scholarship, but diplomatic issues fucked it all up (how freaking weak is that??) and I ended up going nowhere.
It's taken some time, but I've absorbed the learnings, made the iron my companion, my punching ball, and my inspiration. Now, I am almost finishing premed, and though life still fucks up with its unexpected shit, I have to approach it with intensity and to not let it define me. This approach tends to leave you isolated, with people wondering what the fuck are you about, but I've restarted building it all again, brick by painful brick just like Machine has said, and not bothering whether people are watching or not, and this time, I have the unforgiving, yet most trustworthy friend ever, Iron.
