10 thoughts about my first time rollerblading in 17 years
Preview
1. It was intimidating
2. The first moments were more challenging than I thought
3. I felt like a child
4. It was free play, purely intrinsic
5. I rediscovered the joys of being a beginner in something
6. It was hard and I enjoyed it
A good example to show that something can be hard while still enjoyable.
7. But it was also not TOO hard
Perhaps that's the sweet spot.
8. My progress was noticeable and it felt great
By the end of it, I was much more comfortable doing spins.
9. It was a wonderful way to bond with a new friend
This guy I barely know offered to teach me. By the end of it, he suggested doing it again, which I was quite happy about. Making new friends is lovely. I feel grateful for this.
10. I'm glad I fell once
Had I not fallen, I would have interpreted it as meaning that I didn't try hard enough. I only fell once, and it felt surprisingly fine.
