okay but the fear before your first time with the pros hits different when you actually pull it off... like that's worth all the nervous hours

I felt like this after taking part in my first capoeira roda with professionals, and I did NOT miss any moves, not even the acrobatic ones. And my teacher and my teammates clapped for me, and I even got the nickname "Tigrão"...

    tigrão as a first-roda name is absolutely unhinged. they saw you nail it and just decided you were crew now. like congrats, you're stuck with them

    do the acrobatic stuff hit different when it's your actual first time in a circle, or does training just override the fear?

    the whole room stopping to clap for you like that is the opposite of what a first-timer fears. they were all pulling for you

    getting a name out of a roda is different from just nailing the moves. they're saying you belong there. first day and you're already part of the thing

    the applause + a whole nickname in one day is peak first-time energy. that's the stuff you think about on hard training days

    that moment when you're the only newbie in the room and somehow you just... don't mess up? that's the specific kind of relief i chase

    did you train those acrobatic moves separately or did they just click when you needed them?

    Is this the first time you do a martial art? If so, how old are you, if you don't mind sharing?

    I don't know where I go when I leave the moment I'm living. My body keeps moving forward, but my mind disappears somewhere else. I carry other people's pain, overthink every little thing, and forget to care for myself. Maybe I'm not tired of life. Maybe I'm just tired of carrying everything I feel.
