Unfortunately I tore my ACL recently and I won’t be able to ride a skateboard for a while. I have already learned so much from this challenging turn in my life and I’m very focused on continuing to grow from this experience as I slowly recover. Lately I’ve became better at valuing mistakes and the lessons & guidance they provide as opposed just focusing on the pain they bring. Now I suddenly have more time than ever to work on myself and progress in other aspects of life besides skateboarding. I’ve gained perspective and motivation. This experience humbled me and I’m grateful for all of the meaningful relationships & opportunities I have today. I hope that anyone who is reading this are also able to learn from painful situations life has to offer, by reflecting and learning from the mistakes & challenges we inevitably will have to face. Regardless of how fucked up it may feel when your going thru it
