I was in the first position at work today. It was a nerve-wracking but absolutely incredible day. After work, I took my nervous energy to Cyclebar to ride it out. On the way out of the studio, I ran into one of my favorite instructors/unbiological sisters. She looked different with her glasses on and not in instructor mode.
She gave me this look. It was the whipped cream on top of my great day sundae. The look was one of love, acceptance, and pride. It said more than I ever hoped.
I never expected to find this family. I never expected my gym to be the place I want to celebrate, grieve, process, have dates with my husband, and meet friends and my chosen family.
I never expected looks to feed my soul and heal my heart.
