Climbing

Hello everyoneeeeee.
Im at the awesome playground that im always at with deep thoughts.
Blogging from here always makes me feel good.

Just had a makan + drinking session with the seniors.
And as a year 1 listening to all of them talk makes me think about my climbing journey all over again.
I've been climbing for 5 years now.
And the reason why I started loving this sport was due to the community and the self satisfaction I get from climbing.
However as the number of years of climbing increases, there's this part of me that wants to get stronger.
And the main part of the reason is I want to make my parents proud of me for something.
Also to make them understand the reason why I always climb and climb.
My personal goal is to go to open finals one day and ask my parents to come and watch me climb.
Hoping that it will make them proud of their son.
But after today's session with the climbing seniors, I feel that all the improvement is really for myself.
What matters the most is that I constantly enjoy climbing even if I'm injured or even if I didn't perform as well that day.
Just like what Marcus yeo told me the other day.
"What's the reason behind picking up this sport?"
Surely not to win a prize or something.
But actually for yourself.
It hit me quite hard when wen shu and han told me things like "It's really not about getting strong. "
It's a whole new definition for me as recently I've been wanting to get stronger so I'll surpass my peers in climbing.
It's really an enjoyment of the sports itself that is important.
I guess after today, I need to sort out my priorities in climbing.
Because I feel that it's starting to go off course.
But also, to enjoy climbing more, i have to get stronger and pass my own limits.
Some contradiction there.
It's going to take some time for me but I think that feeling is certainly going to come back.
I guess everyone has different mentality for climbing.
And for me, I guess it's getting into open finals and yet enjoying the main reason of why I am climbing in the first place.
Hmmmmmm .
Many thoughts many thoughts.
Shall go and rest and study hard again tml !!
