Worth it

At my very first roller derby practice Hot Cross Buns told me it wasn’t a matter if I were injured, but when. Sometimes I think about that when I wake up in pain, and I wonder if all the physical therapy, medical bills, and pain are worth suffering. Then I think about the friendships, the accomplishments, the adrenaline, and how I’ve grown up in this sport, and I look up cross training opportunities because this sport is transforming. I want to get better and be better. Someday I’ll have to give up skating, but I’m not going to right now.
