dun tell me that!

what would u do...
how would u feel...
if u have to stop doing what u love..
?

just a few moments ago, i was 'adviced' to stop playing badminton...

can u do that?
i cant.

i just returned from a body massage supposedly for my knees and back and arms.. but mainly knees.. and both the masseuse and her daughter naggings couldn't be blocked from my poor ears.. and i've to strain my tired eyes open cause it would be rude if i kept them close while they were talking to me..

somehow i feel that people who dont have a love for sports probably wouldn't really understand how it hurts to refrain someone from their passion.

she was telling me about her 28 yr old friend saying that she had to give up the love of her life cause she didn't treasure herself when she was younger...

i started thinking of how to reply.. is badminton the love of my life?
probably.. but it's not just an interest or hobby or passion...

it's more than just those surfaced descriptions or excuse to continue doing that...

what is it that makes me crave for it?
why will i never get bored of it?
i could do it everyday for long hours and still look forward to each other session...

it could probably be a habit.. just like going online everyday..
it could probably be because that's the only thing i'm best at..
and i've been doing it all my life..

but the most important thing that keeps me going
- the accompany.
definitely.

i make friends through it.
form strong friendships through it.
and i enjoy it. (both the game and the process of being with my friends)

badminton has been part of my life..
IS MY LIFE.
WILL BE my life...

maybe till the day i can't stand.. will i be left with no other choice..
so don't tell me to stop playing. that i can go find other sports to do...
i really don't like that..

deardear, that's like telling u not to play basketball on sunday mornings!
although i always ask u not to go.. lol..
