back from a break with exciting news!

Ahh it's been a while since I've been on StudioVeena, and I miss it!! I feel like I've had a lot of stuff dumped on me at once and I hit a tough point for a while. Between stress from classes and getting the flu and struggling with my usual issues of being anemic and bruising so much, my poling hit a bit of a slump for a little while... And then to make matters worse, apparently I've now managed to hurt my right arm somehow, because every time I grip the pole and put weight on it, I get tingling in my elbow and fingers 😢 So anyway yeah I had been getting very frustrated with the poling situation, but then something fun happened today 🙂 My roommate wanted to pole and I wasn't gonna join her because of my arm but I decided I would try going light on it seeing as I've rested it for a week. I did a bunch of spins and stuff and was feeling okay, then my roommate mentioned a move that she wanted to learn with a new mount, and I mentioned that I had started trying to learn the shoulder mount but it was way too hard. So I went to give a demo--and I DID THE SHOULDER MOUNT!! Just out of the blue like that--and the funny thing is, that's the exact same situation in which I first learned to invert! Weird huh? I guess sometimes I just have to step back and think less! Anyway I'm gonna try and get back into the swing of things with poling and hopefully be back on here more. I miss you ladies!!
