Here is a picture of me getting a third strip on my purple belt. I love BJJ but I haven't been able to train lately. I find myself putting in late hours at work and then having to tend to my daily duties outside of work. I still manage to squeeze in at least one training session a week but that's nothing considering I use to train everyday. However I was still in collage and didn't have the same obligations as today. When I don't get to train I feel depressed and isolated from the world. Since I have my own office at work I don't interact with many people throughout the day. Jiu-Jitsu like many say is my “outlet,” from life. Even though I work all day. BJJ is still always, ALWAYS, on the back of my mind. The mats my home and my teammates my brothers and sisters.
