ohh rosita and djs routes resonated way too deeply with me!! i used to do roller derby but then the place shut down... and i probably can't do derby now because i've gotten so much less able and its just saddening! i really wish i could've told dj i struggled with similar stuff or that i couldve told rosita i used to do derby!! a guy can dream i guess! it hit me hard!!! hearing dj say they also felt like they were losing the ability to be a normal kid hit me hard!!! and not doing well in school no matter how hard you try because somethings fundamentally "wrong" with you and giving up before you even begin? being told you're not doing well enough after practically working yourself to death?? i relate so hard i'd do anything for your characters
