learn to do the splits

i had been working on this, everyday, and making progress. I felt like I just had to break some physical/musculal barrier and I’d be good to go. And then stuff happened. I actually have other goals that conflict with this one. Like when I workout and my muscles are so sore that basic movement/stretches hurt, let alone trying to do the splits. And then there was the domestic pest (scorpion) issue that had me afraid to touch the floor for a week. I still think it’s possible. I just know that it’s gonna take time. I’d also like to know what I was thinking when I made this goal (musta been bored), cuz I don’t know how it really benefits me at all in life, but I’ll listen to my past-self and push on.

I’m not naturally flexible or naturally unflexible. I’m pretty average. I’ve tried to learn before with no luck. I refuse to believe that it’s impossible for me to learn.
