I've been wanting to post about this for a while, but it's been hard to figure out what to say and also to navigate exactly what to talk about. Some of you may have noticed a lack of competition photos from me this season, and that's because there haven't been any. For years I had planned that 2022 would be my last competitive season, and I was really proud of the effort that I put in last season after my hip surgery! Since then I've obviously done a couple of shows and just skated because I didn't know what else to do with myself. Eventually I just stopped skating regularly and I've been going for weeks between sessions. It's been refreshing to just take time off because I want to take time off, instead of being forced to due to injury or other uncontrollable circumstances. I've never done that before and it's interesting figuring out who I am without skating being the driving force behind all my decisions. HOWEVER I also now feel like I fully appreciate the sport and everything it has to offer, and I'm not completely ready to actually settle into retirement yet, I think. I want to take the rest of this year to rest and take the time to give my body the tools it needs to really recover and skate healthily and as pain free as possible, and maybe see about coming back to competition next season. I think I lost the joy of competing for a while and now, after a year of not having that experience, I miss it and want to go for it from a place of fun and excitement like I used to a few years ago. I definitely at least want my triple triple back. I don't think I'm done with the sport just yet. :) Anyway, sorry for the essay, here's to change and good things to come!」9月26日 4時16分
