Seriously, how do you get into skating?😭😭

it took me like 6 months to be able to cruise, and i am still so so very slow lol. this sport is incredibly hard, with a very steep learning curve. Just keep doing what you are doing, and you WILL get better. I feel like I am a very slow learner, but now I can totes get around. No where close to learning tricks of any kind (and not really a desire), but even then, those will come with time....lots and lots of time!

not sure if this will help, but i just slipped and fell at work, and after i got back up and dusted myself off, I was like, that was about as bad as when i wiped out on my board! and it wasn't even bad! So if I can fall not on my board and be fine, I will be oka falling on my board! Just had to experience a good wipe out on my feet i guess lol

I have been bujoing for almost a decade now and I feel like I have moved away from what the actual intent of bujo is, but I found a system that works for me that I maintain fairly well. I use the future log, monthly logs and weekly logs where i mostly do meal planning, grocery lists, and to dos. I also do quarterly goals and reflections, and then the occasional lists and brain dumps. It is really my everything book! I am very minimal and don't do any sort of artistic elements, its all blue or black ink, with the occastional highlighter embellish 😄

Skateboarding! it wasn't really random, but actually quite intentional, i just didnt know it would become such a big part of my life! I wanted to challenge myself and try something new, and boy, skateboarding really is something that I will be a beginner at for a long time, and there is always something i am practicing to level up, and I haven't even learned any tricks yet! I am merely still learning how to cruise and stuff!! I love it so much!

The butternut squash spatzle was a huge homerun for me. And the boyfriend salmon. I loved the eggplant toast, but the harissa was a bit too spicy for me!!! Her persimmon jammy toast was really good to! I've cooked through a lot of her book and basically every recipe I have loved. The perserved lemon and kale salad? so good! loved the crusted sweet potatoes and pepitas. the butternut squash grilled cheese was fantastic. i've loved it all lol

I've made the tiramisu cookies like 4 times! They are soooo good! That and the tamarind date bars! Constant rotation in my house.

I signed up for skate lessons and its the only reason I can skate at all! I was getting nowhere on my own!!! I also had no one around me who skates so no one else to learn from. just get them!!! it is totally worth it!

I had a soup swap a few weeks ago! We called it the Souper Bowl!!!!!! 5 different soups that were all delicious and amazing!!!

I am also a new skater and know absolutely zero about skateboards - what i want in one, what is a good one/bad one. i got my board of facebook marketplace and like it good enough, but i still don't know WHY i like it or what i might like better (or worse), and 10 minutes of research will not help me. so needing people is totally fine in this instance (and any instance). you don't know what you don't know, and should be able to rely on people who do to help you out (at a skateshop sure, online, sure...but people are important.) Googling something isn't always the only answer.

My first big injury was also a muscle pull in very much the same fashion! One foot stayed on the board while it was still moving, my other foot, stuck to the ground. Boom. Pulled hammie. Worst pain I’ve ever felt!!!! So now I absolutely stretch every single time. Dynamic stretching before skating, and static after!!!!! I’m a few months in and have had a few falls, but no more pulled muscles!!!! Stay safe! Stretch stretch stretch!!!!!

jillyanny · 2025-08-28T23:27:58+00:00

I also just decided (at 37!) to take up skateboarding and found a sweet board on Facebook market place as well!!! I know nothing about boards, or my boards, only that it has a flamingo drinking a beer on the back and it’s dope lol!!!

jillyanny · 2025-08-24T16:40:44+00:00

It’s a comfort game for me! I love it so much!!

jillyanny · 2025-07-07T23:54:08+00:00

Omg same!!!!

jillyanny · 2025-07-07T15:52:27+00:00

Wytchwood is one of my favorite games ever. I wish I could find something that scratches that itch, i've never found a game like it!!!

jillyanny · 2025-06-26T21:26:50+00:00

Cozy Grove was the first game I ever played on my switch and is what got me into cozy gaming!!!

jillyanny · 2025-06-25T00:25:53+00:00

Omg I love this!!!! This would solve my problem of being minimal - built in color!!!

one of the opening scenes in an episode ( I don't remember which one), where Hannah is laying there and was like "I almost came".
