[Daniel] One Year

I've been a full year without skateboarding. Many other things have come and gone in this last year but this keeps coming back to me, time and again. It's kind of silly that it's been such hard thing to let go of, and it's not like I was ever that good (especially compared to even the current Am's, let alone Pro's). But it still lingers.



And I can't go back. Even now, a year later and all the recovery time, the ankle still is not really healed. Every couple of weeks, when coming down the stairs, I'll step just a little wrong, feel it compress and be in pain the rest of the day. So there's no way I could hop back on anytime soon, if ever. There's always the longboard, which I still use (so I guess it could be construed that I still skate) but it's nowhere near as frequent as it used to be and nothing more than cruising.



Enough. Perhaps it's time to let go.
