Just skated for 3 hours and only busted my ass once. But while skating though I had fun, I learned a lot about myself while skating, observing.

You can tell a lot about a person the way that skate. How they flow through life even by the style alone.

Right now, I’m just okay. I can only do basic rolling around the rink without falling too many times, but I’m stiff, like I lack rhythm. No poise.

Not fully trusting the mobility of my own legs. Not fully trusting myself. Not moving as water, as a fairy, as my true self.

I have more work to do. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌿" title="Kräuter" aria-label="Emoji: Kräuter">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🛼" title="Roller skate" aria-label="Emoji: Roller skate">

Went skating again today. I was dancing a little and grooving. I’m getting more and more comfortable with my skates.

Freeing my mind. Trusting myself. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌿" title="Kräuter" aria-label="Emoji: Kräuter">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🛼" title="Roller skate" aria-label="Emoji: Roller skate">

I’m documenting my transition through this thread from now on.

I broke in my new skates today and my friend tried to teach me how to skate backwards lol https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen"> I need more practice, soon.

I moved so much freer with my own skates. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🛼" title="Roller skate" aria-label="Emoji: Roller skate">I zoned out into my own world at one point and skated to my own music. I danced. Swayed. Floated. Like a https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧚🏽‍♀️" title="Fee (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Fee (mittlerer Hautton)">. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌿" title="Kräuter" aria-label="Emoji: Kräuter">

I got my first blister on my foot today https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥲" title="Smiling face with tear" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with tear">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🛼" title="Roller skate" aria-label="Emoji: Roller skate"> and I was forced (gently by the homies) to remove my toe stops. They definitely get it the way.

Got a little better with skating backwards. I was a little off today, but I didn’t fall. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😌" title="Erleichtertes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Erleichtertes Gesicht"> I have skate friends now too. Support! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌿" title="Kräuter" aria-label="Emoji: Kräuter">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">

I learned that, much like other situations, if I get in my head too much about skating I stumble.

When I just movehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧚🏽‍♀️" title="Fee (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Fee (mittlerer Hautton)"> and trust myself, like when you leap and trust the Divine, I flow and I sway.

Learned to move with the weight of my skates too. Progress.

Again tomorrow.

Also... I’ve become more obsessed with my rink outfits. I’ve low key become “that girl” on Thursday’s fit wise lol and I love it. I have a hype team. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐈‍⬛" title="Black cat" aria-label="Emoji: Black cat">

I am so sore today https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">. In bed all day until I go skate tonight.

Last night was everything. I had so much fun I don’t remember how many times I fell lol but so many people came to pick me up each time https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">. I met a few new skate buddies and they all said I’ve been doing better each time.

Even found my skate auntie. Love her. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👉🏽" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach rechts (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach rechts (mittlerer Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👈🏽" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach links (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach links (mittlerer Hautton)">

I got so many pointers from the pros and they are all so supportive. Even went to the bar after.

I skates backwards a little in the middle https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😌" title="Erleichtertes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Erleichtertes Gesicht"> I’m still learning tricks and being more carefree. Practicing this weekend I’m sure.

Today was amazing. I learned to “backpack”, my backwards skating is getting soooo good!!! And I learned to balance on my two wheels! I’m so happy! It was the best night yet https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🛼" title="Roller skate" aria-label="Emoji: Roller skate">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😌" title="Erleichtertes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Erleichtertes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌿" title="Kräuter" aria-label="Emoji: Kräuter">

It’ll be a month since I started this journey on the 11th and I’ve learned so much about myself and my style of skating.

I like to skate fast and or slow and sensual .... I enjoy it so much now. I have bruises on my knees my muscle are always sore but my booty growing. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😌" title="Erleichtertes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Erleichtertes Gesicht">

Keeping my energy and vibration up is something I have been more and more aware of lately. It making me become more and more strict with my spiritual practice.

I have meet so many great people and the skate community in Houston is beautiful. This came just in time. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Grünes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Grünes Herz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken"> tbc.
