There Are Worse Aches Than Getting Punched in the Face
Spent 6 Months Filming Muay Thai Fighters in Mexico and Ended Up with a Broken Heart and a Sprained Ankle
A list of things worse than getting punched in the face, in no particular order:
Almost having my kidneys fail
Ignoring grief and pretending death isn’t a thing
Feeling satisfied with money instead of actual happiness
Depression, obviously
A 4-year relationship collapsing while I was still busy grieving
Not knowing if I was in love, in limerance, or just a god damn lunatic
Gaining weight, getting unhealthy, feeling bad about it
Not going after what I actually wanted, because why would I do that?
It’s weird that getting punched in the face, repeatedly, for six months, somehow fixed all of this. Push-ups helped too. So did this ‘docco’. Really, you learn alot about yourself, by just merely doing the things you want to do.
Early on-stage CTE can be productive.
