Despite it still feeling like an extension of 2020, itโs a new year. My mind is set on being very intentional about what I want out of my life. 2020 emphasized how short life is and how I need to strive for what i want NOW in ALL aspects of my life. So here we go...

Maja Chwalinska did not win Roland Garros, but she won the hearts of everyone over the last 3 weeks.
A journey that started from qualifying.
From world #114 to a new career high ranking of world #21.
The first qualifier in history to reach the Roland Garros final.
To think that in 2021, she stopped playing tennis for months due to a battle with depression and self doubtโฆ Back then, it wouldโve been nearly impossible for her to imagine herself in a Grand Slam final.
Her father worked as an electrician in the coal mines and her mother is a receptionist.
They worked tirelessly to support her dreams from the time she was little, and they uplifted her when she had to stop playing tennis to protect her mental health.
Her run in Paris reminded the world that if you work hard at your passion every day, if you have people who love you, and if you never give up on yourself, the ranking next to your name holds no meaningโฆ
You can still make your own fairytale.
Congratulations on everything, Maja. ๐ฅน

No man has ever accomplished that feat in modern-day athletics.
I have lost all fear of starting again. I can start again on a Thursday at 3 AM. I can rebuild at any age. I will uproot, replant, rebrand and reroute until I end up where I envision myself. That fear and shame of losing and trying again no longer has a home in me.
