I was cleaning up my desk drawers at work this morning and found this picture. I participated in a go-kart tournament organised by my company. Racing back on the memory lane, that sparked the beginning of my initial interest in go-karting. Joining My-Kart Team sparked my passion in go-karting.
It's great to see old pictures, especially ones I saw at my brother Sub's wedding on Sunday night. I don't even remember some of the picture in the slide shows, but looking back in time, I can see what a happy family we were, well, until my parents broke up in 1983. Deep down, I think my parent's broken marriage, coupled with my own failed marriage, did have an adverse effect on my perception on love and marriage. Adding salt to my wound was the very messed up relationship with that jerk, Medicine Man.
These past three years has been an emotional holocaust for me when it comes to relationships. I'm trying to be a positive as I can be. Things that I've done over the last three years have helped me become strong, especially the extreme sports that I'm into - go-karting, mountain trekking, white water rafting and such. They're good emotional therapy. Excellent emotional release, I must say!

Dear Nel
Continue with the extreme sports. It is a lot more satisfying than the limp masochists you get out there. I was in an abusive relationship for two years, and it took a lot of creativity to get my self esteem back. When I came out of it, I discovered that practically no-one identified with what I went through. All my friends were too busy enjoying their comfort zones. Believe you me, you will realise that you are past what you had gone through when you can feel and taste the new you, fitter, stronger and living life effortlessly. You will wonder why you ever gave the wimp at the café a second glance! You will discover that you have no doubts about yourself, and your confidence will outshine the rest who cling to their mediocre, illusory existence. Only Mr Macho will make the mark, and he will be good to give you pleasure and make you breakfast in bed the next morning. ;-) Don’t settle for second best and live, really live, the one life you have. I think you are almost home, your posts are poetic and read prophetically dare I say. Keep with it girl!
