In my career, I did very well, better than most people could ever dream of, but I never did the things I thought mattered most in my whole sporting life…I never won an Olympic medal or a world title but have been saying “thank you” for many years when anyone mistakenly congratulates me for my “Olympic Gold”. I’ve watched as champions have been celebrated on the ice for years, revered as demi-Gods for this or that and I harshly admitted to myself that I would never be on their level and that I should be be happy skating a supporting role in whatever show I was cast. Despite what I may look like from the outside, the clothes, the hair, the “sass”, I am very particular about how my life is run and cultivated for me, not for attention. I don’t impose my oddities on others. I like to be kind, and humble and work hard and be part of a team and to love people in excess. I always thought I’d quietly leave performing, gracefully with some happy memories and a farewell wave from my friends. I never dreamt in a million years I’d be the kind of someone that would have the kind of send-off I did yesterday. People standing and crying all over the world, an arena filled with tears, hugs and love and happiness and appreciation and more tears…I felt like the champion I’d set out to be and that my moment of glory came for me. The moral of this little story which will take me many years to process, is…be kind to yourself and others. Love with your whole heart. Never apologize for or be ashamed of being yourself. Keep your nose up with pride but your head down in pursuit of being your best self. The world will surprise you one day, when you deserve it, and you will be forever changed. To everyone who got me to yesterday and was a part of my final moment in the spotlight, I am so humbled and crying again. You made me feel like a champion of something far more valuable than gold, but of hearts. Thank you. 🤍 #figureskating #gold #olympics #faoi #sports #flowers」6月26日 6時32分
