swimmer

The video we watched about the swimmer, Nina, was pretty amazing. She just has a determination and stamina that most of will always lack. She seams to really be doing something she loves too. I guess you would have to to be practicing that many hours a day. I admire her passion. You have to think though about the situations that she begins swimming, the first and the second time. Swimming away from the pain of being molested. Swimming away from the pain of her mothers death and a fear of getting old. Maybe what she needs is not a swim from florida to cuba, but a good therapist. Nevertheless she is a cool lady and I hope I look that good at 60 years old. Yes she has clearly failed. she lost all of the money people have given her and is probably really disappointed and feels unfulfilled. Yes, i felt it was my time at one point. Im not going to go into details but if my plans had actually gone through i probably wouldn't be here right now. It felt right but I fucked it up. "The journey is the destination" means that its just as fulfilling as actually completing something.
