Am I a lost cause?
I don’t have many interests, and usually when something occupies me it goes away after a few days, but for a month or so I’ve had this insane want to start ice figure skating.
The problem is that I’m almost 17 years old, slightly overweight and have never ice skated before. I live in a country that’s literally famous for beaches and summer.
I was thinking of picking up roller skating in summer and seeing how much of that stuff I can pass to a ring in winter. I have no options for coaches or lessons since ice rings are open for a month max in my country.
Every time I think about it I get angry and sad, that I can’t experience ice skating now. Am I a lost cause or is there hope even a little? I feel like it’s obvious that there isn’t.
