Hey guys,
Friday is finally here—a time when most of us can relax and unwind. For those of you with a love (or addiction!) for padel, I hope you have some great games lined up.
Yesterday was one of the hardest days my family has faced in a long time. We had to say goodbye to my dog, and the house already feels emptier without her. Since the day my parents brought me home from the hospital, I’ve always had pets by my side. This is the first time in my life that I don’t, and it’s a feeling I can’t quite put into words.
Losing her has been incredibly painful. But it also reminded me how important it is to find a way to cope with sadness. Even if it’s just for a short while, giving yourself a break from the pain matters.
For me, that escape is dancing. While the vet was at our house yesterday, I was at dance class. I showed up with tears in my eyes, my face red and swollen—but I still went. And somehow, for one full hour, my teacher and friends helped me smile again. I didn’t think that would be possible. I almost didn’t go, but I’m so grateful that I did.
When I got home, the sadness was still there, and I cried again—but for that one hour, I felt okay. And sometimes, that’s enough to get you through the day.
Having something that brings you even a moment of peace is so important for your mental health. Dancing is a part of who I am, and I’m grateful it gives me that space to breathe.
Find your happy place and hold onto it tightly. It can make all the difference.
Where is yours?
