I've been figure skating since I was 7 years old, and even when I'm super-depressed, skating makes me feel better.

i had a friend who would go to the rink every week and started learning how to skate backwards and twirl. i decided to follow her lead and try to go to the rink every week. i’m really bad and slow but it‘s so meditative and i’ve met some sweeties of all ages who have given me tips! i had my first fall today! it was so scary i had to leave the rink, but i’m hoping it gets less scary the more i do it. 🤓yay

There’s something inherently special about public outdoor ice skating rinks.
Despite ending up with a concussion the last time I was at the outdoor rink, throughout winter it has served as a public space free of pretension (rare!)
Whoever you are, ice skating brings out the inner child in everyone because it’s all boiled down to one thing: gliding over ice.
Look left, a six year old has fallen for the umpteenth time. A smile from ear to ear. Look right, a 60 year old man, hockey obviously being a past life, fluttering past you. A smile from ear to ear.

started two years ago and it took over my life.
depending on the city you are in you meet so many people
helps me connect to music in a care free way
have also started traveling to skate festivals around the world though tbh nothing ever beats skating in your home city if you meet the right people
