What kind of equipment do you have? Also should look into forefoot/midfoot striking while running.

Forearm splints sounds terrible.

So if you're crippled by anxiety and on the look out for any hint of "failure" you certainly will do more trying yourself than actually better yourself. Mindset and all that.

Tennis elbow was the worst. That combined with back pain made it so I could only serve hard like twice a week, and had to rest 2 to 3 days after hard serving sessions.

The human psyche is paradoxically the strongest part of a human, yet also its weakest point. As weak, one might say, as a glass lamp being thrown violently at the floor.

"You think this relationship is all about you!" The crunch of glass being trodden into the carpet felt like feathers compared to the scorn that cracked like a whip across the room. "Everything! Everything has to be about you!" Another piece of tableware gone. If the neighbours weren't awake yet, they certainly were now.

"But everything was for y-"

"For me? For me? This isn't about me. No, the problem is that it's always about you."

Strength is a strange thing. We often characterise it as fortitude. Courage. Power. A gumption that takes a life of its own; yet it is also this life that lives a lie. A lie based on an idea, the idea of being something we cannot be. A lie that exists to hide that which we fear to acknowledge about ourselves. Not all lies are bad. It's not that scary. I know everything will be fine. It's ok. Lies are but a figure of speech. A construct that is only given purpose when used. Yet a lie it still is.

"It's always about trying to do what you think is best for me. Trying to be what you think I want. But it's always about you in the end." Her finger jabbed at his chest with every sentence. "To play the hero. The gentleman. The saviour. The knight. About you leaping gallantly forward towards a 'treasure' no one wanted."

Why do we seek strength? It is the fear of the unknown. The fear of something we don't understand, and that scares us. We seek strength to control it so we may already see the future, the river of time merely cascading through the pipes we have already built for it. We seek to create systems that fit within our minds where like a perfect jigsaw everything simply fits into place. So that in the end, it simply becomes something we know. What we understand the most. Us. But we never think to stop and think and realise an infallible truth of our world.

"Everything you do is to follow the fairy tale plucked from the fantasy of movies or stories. About trying to simply please and bow. To make yourself feel better. To control. To tell me how to live my life. No one wants your selfless devotion. It's not about how high you sing my praises. I don't want a pedestal or a statue. I don't want it to be about you. I don't want your anxiety and fears about me to tell you what is right."

The unknown is simply a reflection of ourselves we do not control.

She sunk to her knees, still grasping at his shirt as it stretched downwards. Her head bowed, hair a mess covering all visage of her eyes where water now quenched what had been fire. She breathed raggedly.

The human psyche is paradoxically the strongest part of a human, yet also its weakest point. Yet the chains that bind us, that slave us, and stop us are just as fragile.

"It's not about how much you give up for me. It doesn't matter if you don't care or believe in yourself."

Fragile enough that even a whisper can break them.



"Because I do."
