YUZURU

There's nothing I won't do to obtain what I desire; I'll work my butt off to be the best and to always reach the things I want the most, even if sometimes the journey is rough. There's nothing I hate the most than not giving my best every time I step on the ice rink, every second I get an ovation from my fans and the fans watching the performance, and every time I think about my family and the country I represent. The diets, the hard training, every early morning I wake up to; the nights without resting for training or just thinking about the next competition, the pressure of coming on top every single time, and so many other things that I need to do. Many things I need to put on the line only to live this dream that never seems to end. However, I still have some bad moments throughout the journey, like not seeing my family in a while, not being able to sleep correctly when the anxiousness comes; getting hurt during training or even in the competition performance, not doing one turn right, and losing friends I've made in the world of ice skating.

Teaching younger generations about this sport makes me see the bigger picture each time and reminds me one more time why I love doing what I do. Yet, when I talk to my parents through the phone about my journey or whenever I speak to my friends about something going on with my life, they tell me that I should get someone soon or else I'll go crazy. I don't understand them; I honestly don't. I believe I'm fine by myself, and I prefer those things flow naturally, without forcing anything else to happen. And I'm very concentrated on the coming championship where I'll do my best to be on top.

Things had never been trickier for me. Several good opportunities are coming, making the path to finally reaching my dreams for once and for all. I couldn't be happier even though it's hard to express it sometimes; my life has given me multiple headaches with different problems and dramas in between my conflicts, still, I'm able to stay true to myself and the way I think. My friends keep on telling me that I need a change, meet someone new and get to know more people, but honestly, I only want to finally live peacefully and keep on working hard to get where I want to be.

Also, love is the last thing I want nowadays since I'm regularly thinking about the wounds I have, because of giving my all to someone who didn't deserve it, yet, makes me feel like a scumbag for the actions I took; I sure regret them all and won't do them again.

A trip to Japan got booked for me, and there isn't a comeback ticket. So, it better stays that way. I love London, but I think that something else will make me want to wake up and have something else on my mind that sorrow and worries; maybe, making me finally smile without faking as before.
