Game Night, Your Racket
Back at the badminton club tonight. This is becoming a regular thing now. Black tank top, hair tied back, ready to play. I take my sports seriously even if I do not take myself seriously.
The place was busier tonight. More people on the courts, more energy in the building. I like the competitive atmosphere. Even when I lose I still feel like I won because I showed up and moved my body.
Got a good workout in and then sat on the bench catching my breath and scrolling my phone. The classic post-game cooldown. Sweaty but satisfied.
I think everyone should find something active they enjoy. Mine happens to be smashing a shuttlecock across a net while wearing a cute outfit. Whatever works. The court fee is worth it and so am I.
