But for a while I just couldn’t sit down and put into words what I wanted to say because even though i know it’s the right decision it wasn’t easy to step back from what I’ve been doing for the past 18 years. It was hard to say out loud that I’ll stop competing😬 There are multiple reasons why I made this decision. To explain all of them in this post would be way too long so I’ll do that another time😅 I will forever be thankful for everything comp climbing has giving me! The experiences, sucesses, failures, travels and friends I made taught me so much, allowed me to grow and made me the person I am today 😊 As much joy it brought me - being a professional athlete is not always sunshine and rainbow’s. If you want to belong to the best climbing needs to be the #1 priority and the rest of your life has to kind of grow around it. Deciding to step back wasn’t easy & took me around 3 years… For a long time I wanted to fight my way back & wanted to show everyone that I can bounce back after less great seasons but at some point I realized that the main reason why I was trying to come back was that I didn’t want to be considered a looser, a quitter, someone who’s just giving up. That’s bullshit I know but I still felt that way. I lost track of the reasons why I chose to compete in the first place - because I simply loved it, it gave me everything I needed, made me happy and brought me so much joy😌 But that changed in the last few years and I realized that with every small step I took away from competing I started to feel happier - My relationship to food got healthier, I felt more comfortable in my body, less stressed, less pressured, more free… It’s sad to close this chapter but right now I’m happy with just going climbing for fun, spending time with friends and simply enjoying the beauty of the Sport without trying to be the best and the pressure to be successful🙈 I still almost climb every day as I just love this sport and that will never change! It’s just a bit different now and that’s okay😌🤷🏼‍♀️」4月9日 1時52分
