Getting old sucks
This has been coming for a long time. I woke up the other day, stepped out of bed and like every time "CRACK" , "POP", "CLUNK", my ankles sound like a drumroll. They don't hurt... anymore than usual I guess. Now a days if there's not some pain I'm pretty sure I'm still asleep. I started skating some 15 years ago and the passion is still there. Same as since day one. Its my one true love. BUT.... My body is starting to disagree. My knees scream at me on even the littlest of bumps, my back aches.... you just cant bounce back like you used to when your old. Pain is a relative term. Nothing worthy comes without sacrifice they say... for me my love, my passion out weighs the pain. I skate because I love it, the pain is part of the territory. I remember being 22 and we were skating in front of a school. This olderish man walks buy with his walker and says that he used to skate and that one day we would be just like him. I thought he was crazy at the time, that his injuries and that his pain was caused by something else. Even now I still think he was just a sinacle old man, his passion had been burned out, his body no longer allowed him to do the things he loved. I dont care how bad i hurt i never want to become that man..... even one day when i can no longer do what i love.... ill never let this fire burn out......
