#tbt to my 'Roller Babe friends' I made in line at Midnight Rollerway. Two of them skated up to the entrance line in their own skates impressing the hell out of my beginner ass and offered to take me on the rink and skate with me. I was terrified but they held my 🤚 the entire time while we skated & grooved to 70's tunes. They taught me tricks, cheered me on "yeah gurl, you got it!" and helped me have the most fun I've ever had on the rink!! And just like that, without warning, the lasting remnants of a very painful breakup floated off my shoulders and I skated into bliss. 😊 #hallelujah We gave each other nicknames that night: I'm Bunny. The 2 who had their own skates - Boolicious and J.J. - are roller derby girls who have been skating since they were 6. (Watching them on the rink was mesmerizing 😍) And the last member of our posse - Suede- she rolled up that night alone since all her lame-o friends said they were too tired for fun. Not thwarted by their tiredass excuse she showed up anyway knowing she could have fun on her own. Hell yeah! Fucking empowering! Thank you ladies for giving me what I've been needing for 10 months - TOTAL FREEDOM! Girls are the best and I'm so thankful to be one. I love our tribe. And love how we support one another. Even strangers who meet in line at a roller rink. ❤️ . . . #friendship #phenomenalwoman #fierceness #goddesspower #strangers #weareallfriendshere #totallifechanges #totalfreedom #rollerbabes #midnightrollerdisco #midnightrollerway #skating #rollerskating #internationalwomensday #friendshipisthebestship #fun #empowerment #empoweringwomen #warriorwoman #healed #fuckingfinally
