Excerpt.

"The next time you are out skating, look around. Look at the faces of the people you see among you and ask yourself some questions: why isn’t anyone smiling? Why are there so many people so close to each other, yet everyone feels alone? What has been lost that keeps happiness from our lives?

After thinking of that, look down at your feet. Your skates were designed by people who love what you do. Same with your frames, wheels, bearings, and every other piece of gear you wear. Each piece of rollerblading is fueled not by money or popularity, but love. Each bit of it.

You’re out doing what you love because people love the same things you do.

It’s impossible to have everyone love you. It’s impossible to have everyone understand what it is about rollerblading that makes you love it. You don’t even have to understand it. All you have to do is love it, enjoy it, and make yourself happy."
