I am not fond of the phrase “disappointment is part of life”. I am getting back surgery at the end of December and as a result I will no longer be able to play roller derby. My surgeon says roller derby is almost as dangerous for my back as wrestling. Which makes me really sad. I really enjoy being on the Seattle Debry Brats team Poison Skid’les. I just found my sport, and having to give it up because of my body sucks. Disappointing to say the least. My mom said that being disspointed is a part of life and is a feeling that I should get comfortable with. If you only knew frustrating it is to hear this.
