I skate, therefore I am

I continue because I am a skater. I love it. I hate it. I can't live without it. I can't imagine not skating. Skating has always meant pain in my world. For the last decade I have lived with taped feet. I have limped when walking more often than not. I struggled every day because of the effects that skating has had on my body. I have skate commuted to work instead of driving my car, in the face of fatigue from the previous day's skate. I have stopped to crumble in the corner at work because my body refused to continue. I have worked all day before going to practice, and then beat the crap out of my body.

I skate because it is who I am. It is who we are. It is perfect Zen. As long as I don't stop, I continue. I skate, therfore I am.
