Bruises

When I was working as Parts Manager, I was always bumping into car doors or knocking my shin on reinforcements. I had so many bruises on my legs and I used to laugh and say when I am on the road, my skin will be the clearest yet.

I knew I was clumsy, but I thought it was more to do with being on alert at work and being in an environment where there were things to run into.

Turns out it wasn’t work, I’m just clumsy.

Walking over to write this entry, I knocked my shin on the seat I’m sitting on.

My limbs are so long and haphazardly dangle wherever they want.

So, while this is meant to be me slowing down and looking after myself, I am still with the same amount of bruises I was with before.

I don’t know who let me have such long limbs with a head in the clouds – I can’t control them.

When I was working at the festival, we were situated on a hill. You can imagine me dashing over to the drinks, then dashing back. Flailing around and losing my footing. Every time. Great foundation for the clumsy ones.

Turns out this is why I like stability and stillness.

Lol.
