I won the A singles tournament yesterday. It was a great experience. I was really nervous at the start of the match because my good friend Tom was watching, but I wasn’t challenged a whole lot because I didn’t really think the opponent and I were on the same level. He would eventually miss the ball and I just sort of kept it in play the entire time.
After the match, I didn’t sleep all that well. I was a bit excited and I went to the hospital to get some vegan mac and cheese and beans: a sort of celebratory meal for me because I usually don’t like to eat out all that much. My diet has been rather plain lately, but extremely healthy and that’s exactly the way I like it actually.
I don’t know if I’ll play anymore tournaments in the near future as I don’t really like to travel all that much. This got me thinking about architecture even more. If I pick the lucrative path in my career, I will surely have the time to pursue more tennis and travel with the LATA, but is that what I truly want? Is that who I am deep inside? No, it’s not. It would just be me moving on autopilot, and like my tattoo says, “memento mori”, or seize the day.
