In the Penalty Box

I assume every roller girl has gone through this, a time where something you love so very much because a chore, a job and something you hate doing. I got to that point Just a few weeks ago where I was at my breaking point with derby. I'm not even sure of the starting point of it but after the bout in Baton Rogue I was at my breaking point. I had an extremely horrible panic attack after the game, stayed at the hotel instead of going to the after party and decided then and there i needed to quit the very thing I was good at and loved more than anything. So as soon as I got back from the trip I told everyone I was done, I was still helping but I wouldn't skate anymore and that was my plan until last night. Because of my birthday and other personal events I won't get into on this blog my mom took me and my little sister to Virginia to visit my parents in hope it would level my emotions out and put me back on the sane track that I was loosing hold of (thankfully I did). While there and doing some random looking around the internet I saw the Dominion Roller Girls were playing the Carolina Roller Girls saturday and I had to go. I can't even remember the first game I actually watched without being involved in so it was a treat to just be a fan. I have to say watching both of those teams play made me realize how much I love the sport, how I can't stay away and how i want to and need to be better. So my assumed long break lasted a week. Lucy Ferocious is back.
