Who’s thong is this?
На путу за Зајечар, свратио сам до Брестовачке Бање, где су ми паузу улепшали сусрети са дивним људима. Хвала вам на топлом дочеку и лепим речима! ❤
It’s taken me a couple of days to truly process what happened this weekend. We put ourselves in the best position heading into the final power stage. All we needed was 4th or better to clinch the championship. After a season of fighting for every second and point, it came down to one last stage. Half way through the stage we hit exposed bedrock on the racing line, puncturing both left side tires. We did everything we could to limp to the finish but in the end it wasn’t enough. What makes this harder to swallow is knowing everything it took to get here. This season was do or die for me. I put everything I had financially into running my own team, competing against manufacturer teams with far more resources and support. There were no guarantees, but I believed we could fight at the front. And we proved that. Bad luck followed us all season. At the Snow Drift we were three corners from our first overall win when a mechanical failure took it away. Punctures at two other rallies cost us chances at wins and valuable points. Somehow, we still led the championship for most of the year. Without the two dropped rounds in ARA’s points system, we would have won on total points. Those were the rules we all raced under, but it’s still a tough pill to swallow. I don’t think I’ve ever given so much of myself to something, only to come so painfully close. But I don’t want this weekend to overshadow what we accomplished. I became the first woman to lead the overall American Rally Championship standings and the first woman to win an overall national rally, in my first season back after two years and my first in a Rally2 car. I’m incredibly proud of that, and no championship result can take it away. I’m so proud of everyone who put their heart and soul into this program. I know how much they sacrificed, and I wish we could have brought home the title they deserved. I’ve always known rallying can be cruel, but I don’t think I understood just how cruel until this weekend. I hope I’ll remember more than how it ended: the risks we took, the history we made, and the people who believed in us. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. ❤️
You should never have to compete with someone’s past to feel secure in your present. Love isn’t about controlling who your partner speaks to or demanding that they prove themselves every day. It’s about being with someone who understands that their choices affect your peace, who sets boundaries without being asked, and who never leaves you questioning whether you’re truly the person they want. You can fight for a relationship together, but you shouldn’t have to fight for your place in it. Sometimes, the most important answer isn’t what someone tells you, but what they choose to do when you stop asking. Btw, poetry book ‘Between Heaven & Earth’ is out now. It’s a collection of poems about love, heartbreak, loneliness, inner struggles, healing, and the quiet journey of understanding yourself and life along the way. If you’d like to read it, comment “Book” and I’ll send you the link. [poetry, poet, thefallenpoe.t, victorianpoetry, relationships, selfrespect, boundaries, lovequotes, poetrycommunity]
