Stupid Human Tricks

As I was walking yesterday afternoon, I pulled my phone out to change the song. I placed my foot in a pothole and hit the ground hard. My watch asked if I was alright—I thought I was ok, even better than last time.

I can now say I'm mostly ok. My knee is torn up and sore. It hurts a little to walk. Even a few years ago, I would have brushed this off like it was nothing. But, now I expect to be sore for at least a week. Tripping and falling makes you feel like a fool. You know exactly what you did wrong, and you know for certain you will do it again.

I know what people say—'I wish I was your age again, you're so young.' But nothing makes me feel old like not being able to move around normally.
