Good Posture
It's been on my mind since as long as I can remember, but tonight, as I was looking through old pictures, my posture is disgusting.
People close to me have commented on my posture and how bad it is...i couldn't agree more.
it's gotten better since high school, but it still needs work, among other things.
But i've come to learn that posture is so important, but it's not from pure willpower of pulling your back straight.
For some people like Clara Chu and Gloria Chiu (both of which have a very common last name from me) have beautiful posture but it's natural to them.
I remember Gloria commenting on how its impossible for her to slouch. That's amazing. It's also a foreign thought because it's natural for me to slouch.
Maybe I need to work on my core.

Maybe, maybe so.

But there are so many other nuances to a good posture. When I do walk straight, stand straight, sit straight, I feel taller and more confident. Does that mean when I slouch (which is all the time) I feel less so? Maybe, sometimes, though not always. But there's a more pronounced difference when I stand up straight.
To other people, your posture is so crucial to the first impression. Also, its a sign of what kind of mood you're in. Bad mood or sad? Bad posture. Happy, confident and positive? Good posture. That's a generalization, but it can be true. Whenever I see someone who's a little slouched in the corner, it reminds me of the loner self I used to be and still am sometimes. These people need the most love.

Of course this is not Biblical at all. If you find a passage that deals with posture in the Bible, I'll bake you cookies. (I owe a lot of people cookies.) If i do owe you cookies or you want some cookies let me know I'm planning to bake this coming week. Oh, if you want to study, too. I have a final in 2 weeks that I need to start studying for. It'd be nice to have a study buddy one last time in the cubicles of VLSB or in the OPTOMETRY LIBRARY where we can party it up with Ms. Allison. :)
