Comedy Instagram video that did 3× its author's usual

to play tennis is true happiness and to do it at Grand Central Station in New York is true uniqueness. and achieving true happiness is the purpose and true meaning of our lives, and achieving true uniqueness is a very nice side quest I started playing tennis back in 2011. in 2011, I was in high school monday to saturday and took English classes on sundays. the sunday classes started at 6am and ended at 3pm. truly it was a hard time, especially during winter. and all I wanted to do every day was nap. I remember not wanting to go to those tennis classes at all looking back now I’m happy I did both tennis and the English classes because otherwise I would not be playing tennis at Grand Central Station and I would not be happy or unique. it makes me think about now, how I need to continue pushing myself. posting and making these videos every day is one of those things 😅 and as for tennis, truly it’s not an easy sport to learn, but it’s worth it for sure - all you need to do is try. and it’s so much fun once you do, don’t give it up, like anything in life! that’s all for today. New York vibes are incoming, what an amazing summer - can you believe I was playing handball in Sara D. Roosevelt Park yesterday and making new friends truly I just dared myself to approach a group of people and we started playing that is what life is all about 😭 turns our tennis skills translate to other sports, such as handball and pickleball. and ahhh I can’t wait for fall! love you all have a great Wednesday! #tennis #funny #relatable #comedy #newyork
