Currently listening to: Toy Soldiers – Martika
Step by step, heart to heart
Left, right, left, we all fall down
Like toy soldiers
It wasn’t my intention to mislead you
It never should’ve been this way
What can I say?
It’s true, I did extend the invitation
I never knew how long you’d stay
When you hear temptation call
It’s your heart that takes, takes the fall
Won’t you come out and play with me?
What is your priority right now?
I like to have fun. Lots of fun. But right now, my priority is my health. I am healthy, and I want to stay that way for as long as I can.
I went in for my quarterly chiropractor appointment recently. In the past, I was seeing both an orthopedist and a chiropractor pretty regularly, but over time my issues have become “stable.” I have herniated discs in my C3-5 from a work injury and a handful or MVAs (motor vehicle accidents – none of which were my fault for the record).
I know I slouch. Part of it is because I spent years trying to make myself smaller by folding myself inward like a shrimp, because most of my Korean female friends are petite, 5’3″ or shorter and Asian men in general are not very tall. I stand at 5’6″ but with heels on, I am close to 5’9″ – 5’10”.
I also have a high tolerance to pain, which isn’t always a good thing. Like a good soldier, I push through and keep going until I am running myself into the ground. Most people wouldn’t know that I had any pain or back issues because I don’t like to complain about it. None of my exes knew or at least none of them ever said anything, in fact, they did compliment me on my flexibility. *grins*
