It's funny when we get caught doing something when we think no one is watching... like flexing your muscles in the mirror or dancing in a funny way. Do you remember any embarrassing moments?
ReplyDeleteHello, it's me again
ReplyDeletewhat if you simply went to the gym for some filling out, or to the park for jogging and afterwards come home tired, do you have to get over being tired? Because, as long as I understood the strip, you only get over from an illnes, depression, injuries... things you have to recover from an unhealthy state to a healthy state.
Thank Frank.
Exactly as you reasoned Antonio... you don't get over being exhausted after a workout... but maybe you get an injury from lifting weights that are too heavy... then you will need to recover from that... so it is a synonym for recover... but not in every situation. As you stated, it would be to recover from illness or something that sets you back physically like an injury... and then most things that get to you emotionally. Maybe an inferiority complex or a fear of speaking in public...
