I buried it so deep, it’s almost like it never existed. My partner and I tried to qualify for the Olympics, and after finishing 6th and 8th at the World Championships, we failed to make the Olympic team. In that moment, I didn’t know how this failure was going to change my life for the better. I just felt like my world had shattered right in front of my eyes and I blamed myself. I never relived this skate until a wonderful person started posting old Canadian Championship videos on YouTube and I found myself falling down the rabbit hole of rewatching skating videos for hours and hours and hours..... It’s interesting to relive something that you have repressed so far away in your unconscious mind. I don’t actually remember much about this time in my life. It’s all hidden so deep inside of me that I can’t actually find it. I remember being incredibly injured (2 stress fractures in my lower back, a herniated disc and a numb right leg from nerve damage) and trying to convince myself before I skated that finishing 3rd (when 2 went to the Olympics) would be okay. One important lesson that never got repressed though was how I never wanted to feel like this again. I never wanted my body to fail me like it had that season ever again. Now as I rewatch this moment, again and again, I realize that what I considered to be my greatest failure was really an amazing opportunity that set my skating career on fire. I am thankful for this skate now. It’s taken a long time to realize the lessons that were hidden in what looked like a failure. So, my mission to all of you is to look at something that you consider a failure and reshape it. Analyze the World around it and let it bring you to something beautiful.」5月30日 11時09分
