Going through one of my old high school assignment notebooks I saw a "blog-this-later note" scribbled in the margin.
"Beauty of human movement! 'Whoa! I can do anything!'"
You're welcome, High School Me. I am finally writing about it.
Even when you're not on drugs, looking at your hand is pretty damn amazing when you think about all the things we're capable of doing with our bodies . It feels particularly powerful when you compare it to other living things that can't move or to people who have lost some or all of their mobility.
But I'm not writing about this because it was such a profound yet simple thought. I'm writing about it because just seeing the writing on this page reminded me of how excited I was about the idea at the time.
...also I think it's cute that I've been meticulously using day-planners and assignment notebooks as my lifeblood since middle school. Did I even foresee what kind of a raging to-do-lister I would become?
