the ‘being good at something is no longer a requirement to do anything’ line really kinda bugs me. i mean, i get what you’re saying, on some level, but if ‘being good’ at something is a prerequisite for even participating, well…i know you’re not saying that.
the thing is, i absolutely love where that paragraph goes after that. i run. i am a runner. i have run for the better part of thirty years. i will, in all likelihood, never win an age-group trophy, or finish in the top third of a race. my PRs are behind me. but there are still moments when i run where i feel more at peace, more connected to the world around me than any other time. that, to me, is far more important than ‘being good’ will ever be.
