2 years of not playing, 15 months of pt, and 5 months back into playing and I just won my first BB volleyball tournament this weekend. This is my moment, my year. We’re back and better ✊🏼
Played some sand today and felt a small part of me - my identity as a volleyball player - resurface. It felt good 😊 also being with the right people to support you during this time matters more than you think
The part no one really talks about - the insecurities, the feelings of doubt, the identity crisis. Being physically cleared was a momentous milestone, but this mental battle is the hardest one yet.
my sister used to say 'boys are easier to raise than girls' and after her 17 year old son was admitted to a psych hospital, i realised the assumption of treating boys like they need less guidance through life is such a disservice to their mental and emotional health.
Once again....
I am here to remind you that no amount of recycling or using metal straws or any of that green doing stuff can undo the damage big corporates do....
