Hi, I've been skating since I was 11.
I've stopped skating a 9 months ago, because a competition brought down my confidence and middle school was in the way. Now that I feel better, I feel like I'm ready to go back.
But I also feel really nervous.
Should I go back? I miss skating so much, I'm just worried all the kids are ahead of me, and I'm just not supposed to belong there.
Edit: Thank you everyone for answering. I realized I should just do it again, because it makes me happy.
I continue going to the rink, and surprisingly, I can still do most of the tricks I learned in my private lessons.
Although I know I might not be able to do lessons anymore because of money issues, I can still skate at the rink.
I've also picked up a new hobby, and now I play ukulele. I guess skating will be another hobby for another time.
