skating through heartbreak 💔 come with me to my second competition of the season, but the first time I’m competing in the category freestyle this season. This category - classic ladies inline freestyle - has nothing to do with freestyling, and focuses on more technical elements like spins & jumps. aside from the more difficult elements, I wanted to work on skating with more emotion - expressing my feelings through movement has always helped me process whatever I was going through. And what stronger emotion is there to skate to than heartbreak? not just for myself, but for everyone who has ever felt like they had to say goodbye to someone they loved. this time around, there were no characters, no costumes - just me, my skates, and the story i wanted to tell. ✨ Even though this routine wasn’t perfect, I felt really proud after my skate. i landed both my axels and my double toe attempt on one foot, and got my highest score ever in this category. i didn’t push my emotions away, and i let them move through me. i have a long way to go, but this season, i’m learning to skate with more honesty. less pressure. more heart. ♥️🩰🛼💫 inlineskating inlinefigureskating figureskater competitiveskater heartbreak rollerskater artisticrollerskating rollerfigureskating inlineskater skatergirl adultskater brunomars rollerblading mentalhealthmatters rollerskating rollergirls
