I’m not gonna lie, these past few weeks have been tough. I love skiing and that’s the only reason I came back to this sport… but there have been so many negative voices. People who don’t believe in me. People who say I’m too old and slow. People who question my character. People who tell me to move over because my time is up….I know they are only a few voices out of many…. But it still hurts. I try to be strong, but I’m not always strong. I am human.
I think it hurts because I care. I know I shouldn’t, but at the end of the day, my skin is only so thick.
I wish I could have done better, but I didn’t. I did my best with what I had. And I know I don’t handle every situation perfectly… because im very far from perfect. But I do care. Probably too much. Which is why my emotions get the best of me sometimes.
But don’t worry, I’m not going to give up. I believe in myself and I know with hard work I will get to where I dream of going.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me. Let’s keep dreaming!
