ugh my skating feels. It sounds like we have the same ones.
I have a lot of feelings about skating. I have an old DK book on figure skating from ages ago that I got when I was little so I could learn about jumps and holds and all sorts of things. I fully intended to skate. It never really happened (partly because of money and partly because of bad ankles that only ever got worse), but I always wanted it so bad. And just, to actually see someone like Jeremy get up after being rocked and get angry and just do the damn thing anyway because the pain and the fear and the anxiety were not going to win that time, dammit, just UGH. I don't think he really knows what it means to see a parallel to the sort of stuff I deal with day to day. He's always been about getting back up, and Meryl and Charlie have always been abut supporting each other through thick and thin, but I don't think they get how much those things are VITAL to some of us and how much it means to see them. Especially Jeremy. Just. It's been so long, and I've watched so much almost there and to have someone express being okay with dong THEIR best instead of doing THE best, and to e so settled and calm in that fact, like I like a lot of figure skaters, but nobody is quite like Jeremy (except maybe Yagudin, back in the day, when an illness of sorts did take his skating and I hurt right along with him). But it's late at night and I'm rambling and I should sleep. I'm going to sleep now.
