Alexandra Johnson Instagram – Passion.
It’s been a hell of a few months (years). I need climbing. It’s how I express myself.
I put all of who I am into it. Everything I do, I do with passion. I think that’s why little wins can feel like huge victories.
After Fritz died I poured myself into training. It was my therapy. I felt like I needed to suffer physically to distract myself from how much I was suffering emotionally. I finally started feeling like I was back to where I was before my injury. I was finally climbing hard outside again.
After my mom’s accident, I came home from Costa Rica having lost over 10 pounds in two weeks. Most of it was muscle. I couldn’t climb V4 on the board.
Grieving someone who’s still alive is something I’ve never experienced. It’s a day-by-day type of thing.
It definitely makes little wins like hearing my mom say my name, watching her take her first steps again, or sending a multi-month board project feel like winning a championship. | Posted on 12/Feb/2025 02:41:14
