My stomach yearned for food as I smelt the abundance of flavors coming from all around me - Smokey, barbeque, and meaty street food. I tagged along behind my mom trying not to get pulled back by the crowd. ]]> 2022-02-11 03:09:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ebonydohnal/vlzdu2ojnrias9df/wish/2041613075 lucas_bian https://padlet.com/ebonydohnal/vlzdu2ojnrias9df/wish/2041617377 Clashing metals of homespun alloy would rend the ear and [muddle] the mind as it rebound off itself, ceaselessly magnifying. My friends would come out frenzied, skin tacky with sweat whilst I led them to the exit, a jagged grin [tearing] across my face.]]> 2022-02-11 03:13:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ebonydohnal/vlzdu2ojnrias9df/wish/2041617377 https://padlet.com/ebonydohnal/vlzdu2ojnrias9df/wish/2041624723 I remember the day vividly. It was the 15th of December 2020 and my first experience behind the wheel of a car. I was excited but also extremely nervous. The tension escalated to a point where my hands became excessively sweaty causing them to stick to the steering wheel. I had visualised this moment in my mind for over six months and my thoughts were running wild.]]> 2022-02-11 03:20:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ebonydohnal/vlzdu2ojnrias9df/wish/2041624723 https://padlet.com/ebonydohnal/vlzdu2ojnrias9df/wish/2041625962 The day started with an abrupt jolt as I heard the ringing of my alarm clock. Groggily I rolled over and with one big swing slammed my hand on the top of my alarm. After a few peaceful moments of lying in the comfort of my bed with my eyes closed, I counted down from five and forced myself to jump out of bed as I remembered I had multiple things to fix on the race bike and very little time to complete those tasks. ]]> 2022-02-11 03:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ebonydohnal/vlzdu2ojnrias9df/wish/2041625962 lucas_bian https://padlet.com/ebonydohnal/vlzdu2ojnrias9df/wish/2041635547 The outfit was a creeping indigo, slightly translucent yet seeming to absorb the light. As I approached its radiating grandeur, the atmospheric pressure seemed to drop and my breath became a shallow rasp.]]> 2022-02-11 03:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ebonydohnal/vlzdu2ojnrias9df/wish/2041635547 https://padlet.com/ebonydohnal/vlzdu2ojnrias9df/wish/2041640348 As I stepped into the ring for the first time, I was overwhelmed with the rush and electricity of the crowd. The roars of affirmation reminded me of why I spent so long pushing my body and mind to the limit. Sweat beading down my face as I stand on the middle rope and taunt to the crowd as my opponents glares at me with the rage of a contained bull. I turn around to meet him for the first time since the weigh in. My face turned from filled with joy to the stare of a killer. We walk to the middle of the ring as the ring announcer took his first breath. ]]> 2022-02-11 03:34:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ebonydohnal/vlzdu2ojnrias9df/wish/2041640348 lucas_bian https://padlet.com/ebonydohnal/vlzdu2ojnrias9df/wish/2041648658 The contrast of the world was all off and the perspiration streaming into my eyes turned the world into a disproportionate kaleidoscope.

The sun's morning rays glided through the pained glass windows onto the ancient mats, and the stacked chairs looked as if they had clinged to their wall for centuries. The gym's calm disposition pulled me in closer to the centre of the mats like a magnet unto metal. The gentle stillness relieved every little spec of anxiety and worry in my head.  Little did I know that this would be one of the hardest days of my life so far]]> 2022-02-11 03:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ebonydohnal/vlzdu2ojnrias9df/wish/2041652590
